330ml bottle. Pours hazy orange/amber with a huge frothy off-white head. Aroma: hoppy but a bit muted, tropical fruits and slight piney/earthy note. Taste: vague tropical fruits, slight pine, citrus, light sweetness and bitterness. Body is light, carbonation is lively, very bubbly mouthfeel making it rather gassy. Only a week before BB date so a fresher bottle might’ve had better hop presence, but for the low ABV this was fairly good overall.
