Pours murky gold into a tulip. Bright white conglomerate head with excellent retention recedes to pancake surface. Ozone and tire store aromas. Thick with sweet mango, passion fruit and melon upfront turning to juicy fruit, tangerine and bubble gum in the slick, lasting finish.

Candied orange, light hops, smooth, hard to tell this is 12%.

Very juicy, boozy at the finish. Almost an overripe fruit taste. Bit disappointing. Thanks Paulaner.
