Clear pale nutty color with an off white layer on top. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium ligth body and a soft to flat carbonation level. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Mostly a caramel malty flavor with some fruity notes. Not very recommendable stuff.

Bright clear amber beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and crispy. Tangy orange and lemon citrus with a nice tangerine follow up. A little floralness. Dry tangy finish. Bright fruits, but the tang could be dialled down a bit.
