Tower 42 Tasting 2. Lightly hazy gold beer, good fluffy pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry. Decent fine carbonation. Nice floral grape followed by white wine tang. It’s very white wine like but smoother and has traces of orange and tropical fruits underneath. Light semi dry finish. Definitely up there in the most wine like beers I’ve had. Tasty and drinkable.

Bottle shared in London on the 42nd floor - many thanks to Kenny. Pours clear yellow with a frothy white head. Nice aroma, some tangy citrus, lemon, wheat, melon, peach. Medium sweet flavor, some stones, peach, lemon, mild acidity. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish, some peach gummies, white grape, tangy lemon. Excellent stuff. Quite reminiscent of a dry, moderately acidic white wine. Great stuff.

Bottle from Mikkeller & Friends, bought in August 2015. Golden with a white head. Aroma and taste of citrus, orange, some funk and grapes. Also some hints of herbs. The body was on the light side. A refreshing one.
