Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours cloudy bright orange with a decent white head. The aroma is rich, juicy and ripe, great depth of ripe stone fruits, peach, mango, persimmon, nectarine, passionfruit, um bungo, orange chewits, fruitella, nip of pine, green, weedy, dank and spice. The taste is thick and dry upfront, touch of light citrus acidity which dissipates, then it's pithy, zesty, grapefruit, bitter orange peel, tangerine, kumquat, light bitterness, ripe and pulpy stone fruits, mango, apricot, passionfruit, some weed, green vibes, floury bread and a nip of alcohol. Finish is lingering green and dry vibes. Medium+ body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Surprised by the previous couple of ratings as this has a lot of character and depth of flavour. So much to it. Very enjoyable and rewarding.
