330ml bottle. Moderately cloudy, orangey golden to amber colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Intense, fruity hoppy aroma, notes of pineapple and melon (watermelon & honeydew melon), lychee, hints of yellow tone fruit. Taste has identical fruit flavours, full bodied caramel malty backbone. Maybe the best (i.e. most interesting, best balanced, with the finest subtleties) in the SHIPA-series so far.
