Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a clear dark gold, brief fizzy white head, no retention. Not great. Aroma is quite metallic, citrus, pale malts. Taste of metal, biscuit, decent citrus burst, light tropical notes, punchy grassy and zesty bitterness. Ok. Light bodied but a little chewy. Bang average bitter.

At a tasting, small bubbly creamy head, clear light brown to dark orange color, aroma of wood, light caramel, orange and a hint of fruitiness, flavor of fruit, citrus and wood with some light caramel behind, light to medium bitterness, noticable carbonation. Not too bad, quite drinkable.
