330ml bottle. Cloudy, orange golden colour with average to huge, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, minimally bready, pale malty and slightly citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, hints of mandarine, orange peel, white bread crust, spicy overtones with a touch of aniseed, some sugar cane, brown sugar. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally bready, pale malty, yeasty spicy and yeasty fruity, slightly citrusy fruity hoppy with some zesty bitterness, notes of aniseed, mandarine, hints of white bread, some orange peel. Watery texture, minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Fairly refreshing, relatively bready malty, feels almost like Pastis or Ouzo BA due to the more than subtle aniseed flavours; if they aren't an effect that traces back to the usage of sugar cane and mandarine extract... meh!
