Bottle. Clear gold with a white head. Aroma - damp grainy dough and apricots, grapefruit and tropical fruit. Light bodied, highish carbonation. Grainy and fruity with sweet tropical fruit and mandarins being quite quickly overtaken by grapefruit, white pepper and cloves in a dry and fairly bitter finish. Here I like the way the hops work with the peppery yeast notes to produce a finish that whilst a little higher in bitterness has that proper dry and spicy note too. Nice one.
