Can from Beerdome. Aroma is ripe-ish fruits, fruity hop, citrus, orange, tangerine, some fruity marmalde, malt, hint of banana (really?). Flavour is sweetish with a light bitterness. Medium body. Not great within the style, but soft and pleasant.

Can. It pours an orange-juice looking although darker orange body and a small white head. The aroma has lots of tropical fruit juice, mango, pineapple and peach, with pine cones in the back. Very juicy actually, with little room for the malts. It's full-bodied, smooth and faintly warming on the palate, seemingly low on bitterness at first, but toward the finish more show up. Pine cones, mango, pineapple, peach, grapefruit and some alcohol in the flavor. Lasting fruit-juicy finish with a tad much alcohol. Sure a nice one, but a bit too boozy, and sort of one-dimensionally fruit-juicy. 210129
