Copenhagen 11/11 2020. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F- Slyer can with a guy on a surf board and ans slice of blood orange.
Pours unclear, golden yellow with mid-sized white head. Settles as thin patch of foam unable to cover much of anything. No lacing.
Aroma is fairly intense with a strong juicy, zesty, citric odor with a lighter sweeter undercurrent. Orange juice with a bite, citrus, gooseberries. Acidic zest. Light whiff of sweet pineapple.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, almost flat texture.
Flavor is intense with a light sweetness followed by a strong citric bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a sweet undercurrent. Lingers for a while. Finish is semi-dry.
Intense APA with a fine zesty bite.

Double Dry Hopping Pale Ale, single hop, with the experimental hop HBC 692 (now called Talus).
On the nose immediately fruity hints of citrus fruits (grapefruit and orange).
Fairly abundant foam with a vertical pour, but then passes out quickly and a hint of it remains on top.
Super smooth body in the mouth, right carbonatio ... really very light and drinkable.
Very fruity taste (it almost seems to me a Juicy Pale Ale): especially grapefruit and orange (classic and also red). Summer fruit too, perhaps a hint of mango...
Slightly bitter finish, but with a really barely hinted bitterness.
More useful to "dry" the beer on the tongue than to want to engrave as a characterizing element of the same.
On the palate the citrus and fruity notes remain which increasingly take on the nuance of ripe orange and summer fruit...
Tasty, light (excellent carbonation), fresh, fairly balanced.
