Orange with a white head. Slightly candied tropical fruits, pine, citrus, light toasty malt with some caramel thrown in. A nice soft bitter bite in the finish. Very nice.

Thin off white head left a spotty cover & lacing on a pale amber coloured body full of static air bubbles - weird! Pine, peach & confectionery aroma. Medium bodied, sharp on the palate with softer back & clean dry aft. Bitter pithy tastes with pine, nectarine, grapefruit, bitter citrus & a tangy finish. Good one.
