Can from Fountainhall Wines, Aberdeen. It pours cloudy golden yellow with a small frothy white head. The aroma is juicy, bright, lovely mango, peach & passion fruit vibes, fruit cocktail, five alive, zingy, zesty, grapefruit and tangerine. The taste is crisp, dry, firm bitterness, green, weedy, pine needles, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, orange squash, peppery spice, tropical fruit vibes, mango, papaya, passion fruit and just a hint of alcohol with a drying, bitter finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Fresh, bitter and lovely on general.
