Lightly hazed lemonade. Citrusy and light funky hop aroma and flavor. Good balance with little to no bitterness; lightly sweet but not boozy. Medium bodied.

From the pint can, it pours a milky amber color with a modest white head that slowly reduces to a thin layer and leaves lacing. The nose gets citrus, followed by the mouth getting some bitterness and sweetness, followed by a lingering mild aftertaste.

Copenhagen 30/11 2021. 47,3 cl cn from Din Øl web-shop (dinol.dk). Neat drawing of samurais moving through forest landscape on the can.
Pours opaque, hazy orange with a mid-sized white head. Settles as thin, almost transparent layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing .
Aroma is intense with prominent, fermented, fruity scent mingling with a more subdued citric odor. Overripe mango and peach. Decay and mustard. Grapefruit and citrus.
Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, soft, slightly sticky, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is intense with a fairly strong sweetness followed and balanced by a strong, citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and sour. Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.
A lot more pleasant than the name suggests - which most of all reminds me of a anti-smoking campaign.

Outstanding brew! Pours a very hazy yellowish orange color with a big foamy white head which lingers and then laces the top for a while. Tropical fruit especially lychee, pineapple and tangerine on the nose along with some pine, grassiness. Taste is brilliant! Follows the nose while the sweetness is well balanced with the hops bitterness bite. Smooth creamy...delish!

Should be unretired. Canned on 5/24/2021.
Can to wine goblet.
LOOK: medium yellow color. 50% haze. decent white head, ok retention.
AROMA: wheat, cracker, lemongrass. mild strength of aroma, but pleasant.
TASTE: clean light citrus, wheat-y malt backbone keeps the acidity at bay. well balanced. touch of a soapy taste in aftermath, but otherwise very good.
FEEL: light to medium body, good carbonation. lively.
Very nice beer from adroit theory. Not perfect, but one of the best I've had from them. Unlike other beers from Adroit in that this is not aggressive in one attribute or another. More of a balanced beer with interesting notes in all facets. Enjoyable.
