On tap at Foodies Festival. Appearance - golden with a nice head. Nose - fruit salad and general tropical going on. Taste - grapes, apples and oranges. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry (but not too dry) finish. Overall - this works at 3.6% because the bitterness has not been overdone.
