500ml bottle. Minimally milky, orange, golden colour with small to average, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet-ish, biscuity, pale malty and citrusy fruity, slightly piney, hoppy aroma, notes of tangerine, grapefruit, some pineapple, resinous overtones. Taste is crisp, bitter, citrusy fruity and piney hoppy, slightly biscuity, pale and slightly caramel malty basis with low residual sweetness and a touch of salty cracker, notes of grapefruit, lemon, some pineapple, tangerine; additionally a minimally mineral touch in the finish. Oily texture, dry palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation. Well crafted, well balanced, very clean, crisp - could have been paradigmatic/prototypical if already brewed in, let's say, the early 80ies; perfect clone today.
