440ml can from brewer. Hazy light gold colour, white head with lovely looking retention. Aroma is a very distinctive, Nelson Sauvin hop with gooseberry, white grape and flora. Taste follows nose, quite fruity, grassy and somewhat aromatic but not overdone, semi-sweet. Nice moderate bitterness to balance. Light body and soft carbonation but this works fine with the tasty refreshing quality of this beer. Excellent.
