500ml bottled conditioned, shared with no one at home on 31st July 2015. Good golden hue to the body, on top a full and deep white crown. Huge Grapefruit front to the aroma and taste: backed with other citrus based fruitiness and the accompanying bitterness, yet there is a malty backbone running through the brew. Very drinkable.
