Bottle: Golden with an orangey sheen, hazy, mid-sized lacy white head; moderate fruity and spicy hoppy nose with slight traces of caramel and pale malt underneath; moderate to solid dryish bitter-sweetish flavour, light to medium bodied; increasing citric fruitiness in the dry and lingering hoppy finish. Good, robust brew....
