Can at Beerdello, thx Karlo! Murky orange-golden body, white head. Creamy aroma, vanilla, mixing with citric notes, orange and lemon. Lemon and orange dominate the sweeeet, sweeeeet taste, bit juicy, but too sweet, candyish, some vanilla's there, pistachios didn't give much. Meh, not not tasty, the combination of citrus fruits is good, but we struggled to finish it.
