At a tasting, small stable bubbly creamy head, murky deepish yellow color, aroma of apple, minerals and plaster, flavor of grapefruit and fruit with a hint of pine, medium bitterness with too much sweetness. Unbalanced but still nice.

Bottle. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of marmalade and honey. Flavour of pine and dried leaves. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This was bottled 10 months ago, so it isn’t as fresh I’d have liked, but it’s still tasty... albeit very dry.
