Pours unclear blonde. Small white head. Smell is creamy, bit lactic ( rather hidden ) mild maltyness. Medium low intensity. Taste is sharp, bitter , fruity ( citric, grapefruit, apples ) . No real lactic features in the taste. Not really the New England it was said to be, and frankly, not that great in general. Too much added fruits, bitterness, and slightly to high carbo, pulling this outa balance.
