Bottiglia. Al naso arrivano impressioni di luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. Il liquido è di aspetto opalescente. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è deciso. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevolissimo. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano luppolate. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato si attestano sentori di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, arancia amara, mandarino, mango e frutta tropicale.

The tropical tones are wafting over from the glass. Juicy looking! Very prominent nose. Notes of mandarine, mango, piney funkiness,. Very good body: up front an explosion of fruit. Tangerine. Passion fruit. Mango milkshake. Persists all the way through to the finish. Lingering creamy mango and nice bitterness.

50cl bottle. Pours hazy orange, with medium grained white foam. Aroma is toffee, tropical, hoppy. Body is average, with good carbonation. Taste is medium-high bitter, with a creamy final indeed, also kind of dry.
