Canned. Hazy orange colour, mediumsized creamy white head. Aroma is fruit compott, some alcohol sweetness as well as fruit sugars. Flavour is fruity, some fruit sugar and mild toffeeish and some alcohol to it. Nice balance still.

(Bottle) Pale amber colour, hazy, with big frothy white head, leaving traces of lacing. Malty, hoppy nose with orange marmalade, apricots, grapefruit, peaches, caramel and pine needles. Hoppy, malty, bitter taste with notes of orange marmalade, pine needles, apricots, grapefruit, peaches, candy sugar and a solid resiny, piney bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Sharpish, but quite tasty and really bitter. Nice one.
