Bottle. Amber with a fat coat of white head. Aroma of pine, pineapple, grapefruit, lime, slightly toasty pale malt in the background. Oily with low carbonation. Sweet and smooth with tropical and citrus fruit sitting in nicely, then a big thunk of pine and bitterness at the brief finish. Not all that distinctive but tasty.
