Clear copper orange beer, nice solid white creamy head, stable, adhesive, nice lacing. Aroma: citrus, malty, bit sweet, bit floral, ripe sweet fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: very fruity, citrus, bitter hops, bit soapy, alcohol noticeable. Aftertaste: bit cheesy, bitter, dry grapefruit, grains, not as fruity as expected. The smoky is only very slightly present, not disturbing, actually wouldn't have mind a bit more of it. Maybe I 've drunk too much Schlenkerla in my life. ;-)
