0,33 l bottle. Pours hazy golden yellow with small, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is very light, mainly malt, a bit of caramel, light fruity notes. Taste is medium sweet and bitter. Flavor is home brew like, mainly malt, a hint of acidity. Body is light, carbonation almost prickly. Finish is unremarkable, prickly carbonation sensation, slightly sour and low bitter.

On-tap in the Christmas Market, Funchal, Madeira on 4th December 2023. Slight haze to the golden orange body, neat white head. Piney hops battle with some citrussy friends over a pale malty base, decent enough overall.
