Level 42 bottleshare. Santa is flying past and below! Thanks to Matteo for the can. Hazy yellow - gold beer, not real head. Palate is smooth, light and fairly dry, modest fine carbonation. Skunky hops sit alongside lemony sourness. Modest orange peel. Smooth finish. A slightly uncomfortable juxtaposition for me but it was alright.
