440ml can. Opalescant, amber colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Relatively weak, piney, resinous and citrusy, hoppy aroma, pale and caramel malty background, hints of lemon, mandarine, orange, some almond. Taste is immensely bitter, slightly resinous and piney, minimally citrusy hoppy, caramel malty backbone with low residual sweetness, a zesty touch of orange, mineral overtones. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate, fine and soft, creamy carbonation. Pungent bitterness, restricted amount and intensity of hop flavours - OK.
