Robustly full bodied with a glistening chestnut tint, the ale’s complex passion fruit and lychee tartness leaps forward, closely followed by a perfectly charming balance of fruit and malt on the finish.

Clear amber beer, white head, light citrus smell. Flavour is quite grapefruity, a bit of sweet lemon in there too. It’s got a lingering citrus aftertaste too. Really nice.
