440ml can from Sainsbury's. Hazy yellow pour, small white foamy head. Citrusy aroma, fruity, mild dank notes. Taste is grapefruit, tangerine with some nice bready malts holding it all up.

Bottle from Speciaalbierpakket. Aroma is fruity hops with juicy citrus, tropical fruits, orange, some pine, tangerine, grapefruit, some alcohol, and biscuity pale malt. Flavour is moderate sweet with a long bitter finish. Body is above medium. Bitter and citrussy, a bit sharp with noticeable alcohol. Nicely aromatic, good but not great (for the style).
