330ml bottle. Clear, orangey, dark golden to amber colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Rather weak, floral and (citrusy) fruity, hoppy aroma, pale and caramel malty background, rather unspecific fruitiness in a spectrum encompassing lime, lemon, unripe kiwi fruit, gooseberry, rhubarb without really getting close to anything of these; minimally waxy overtones. Taste is minimally sweet pale and caramel malty, unspecific green, hoppy fruitiness repeats the olfactory impression, some grassy aspects as well, minimally waxy overtones. Oily texture, smooth, super-soft palate, very fine, soft carbonation. Superbly crafted, very clean, a tad too weak and unspecific hop flavours overall.

Pours light orange with a frothy, white head that lingers. Aroma has notes of berry, citrus, herbal tea and sweet caramel. Taste is quite sweet, especially up front, trends bittersweet on the backside. Dry at the end. Body is medium and somewhat oily, carbonation is moderate. Overall, pretty decent.
