Draft at ’t Brugs Beertje. Hazy greenish beer(Beer???). Looks like bad witbeer mixed with lime-limonade. Smell of sour lime cheewing gom and other fruit candi’s. The taste is even worse. It taste like oxidized witbier mixed with water and colored with some cheep citrus sirup. The afthertaste is chemical like and you need at least 1 liter of water to rince you pallet.

I think someone sold me a glass of lemon green dishwasher soap. Seriously... aaaargh!

On draught at La Trappiste Canterbury. Cloudy muddy green colour ladting white head. Aroma of lime and frankly washing up liquid. But in a good way. Yes a tad sweet and a bit like lime cordial. But it isnt unpleasant. Bizarre. Sweet lime but you know what? I kinda like it. It put a big dumb smile on my face sat in the middle of Canterbury drinking draught Floris beers direct from Delirium cafe itself. Crazy but cold and drinkable

On draft at delirium cafe. Neon green color. Tasted more like powerade than beer. Very drinkable and refreshing.

Tap @ Delirium, Brussels.
Pours muddy neon-green with a small, frothy, white film head. Aroma is sharp, peppery, candy, sour pear - actually not that bad. Medium carbonation, thin and watery. Flavour is weak, very sweet, vegetable, light peppery. Lingering candy sweet notes. Not good.

draft @ Delirium, Bruxelles. Une bière verte trouble donnant lieu à un col blanc épais. Arôme ne présente pas vraiment ce côté cactus que j’attendais surtout après avoir déjà gouter à ce dernier en plat cuisiné. Au contraire, il ressort de cette bière plus un aspect agrumes, citronné. En bouche, expérience similaire qui rappelle une limonade, style radler allemande, donnant de la pulpe d’agrumes avec une légère touche de houblon pour un fini mi-amer. Une effervescence haute pour une bière qui reste rafraichissante. Comme beaucoup des bières de cette série, je note toujours un côté sucré/sirop qui a tendance à coller un peu aux lèvres.

Draught @ Brussels Beer Weekend, Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium.
Unclear light green color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is soft drink lemon, cactus, paper. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery and sticky, carbonation is soft. [20090906]

Draught at Delirium Cafè (Bruxelles).
Green pale color with discreet fizzy aspect. Compact and bulky head, much elegant and unusual one. Fresh with notes of lime, rind of pompelo, rather sour aroma. Much coolness taste, similar to juice of cedar with notes of lies and "fat plants". Indeed unusual but with something to save.

From tap at Grand Place. Pours hazy green with a light greenish head. Aroma is lemonish soda water. Distinct citric. Citric and sweet flavoured. Lingering sweet and lemonish finish.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Whitebeer added with lemons or limes not a cactus but very thirstquenching.

12oz bottle. Lemon-lime beer. Flourescent green color. Hints of natural lime juice mixed with an artificial fruit soda background. Drinkable and perfect for a daytime beer. Completely unsure as to why it is called cactus, perhaps it is one of the ingredients.
