Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy copper pour, huge frothy off-white head, long lasting. Sticky lacing on the glass. Very nice on the nose, fruity citrus notes, herbal touches, pine, elderflower. Medium body, soft carbonation. Smooth and soft mouthfeel, light texture, easily drinkable. Mild bittersweet taste, nicely balanced. Aroma of lemon, pine, elderflower. Herbal and grassy notes, yeast, mild spice. Caramel malt in the background. Medium lasting finish, dry, subtle bitterness. Good.

Bottle at Spicy Days. Misty dark orange-amber body, white head. Interesting aroma - herbal going towards resin, then Cedevita Lemon, watermelon and light onion. Sweetish taste, generic fruity hoppy notes, muddled, malty background, malty finish, a bit flabby, vague bitterness. The first one was much, much better.
