Can pour into nonic pint glass. Appearance is hazy yellow with slight orange and greenish tinge, decent sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and minimal leggy lacing. Aroma is strong tropical fruit away from the glass and herbal muskiness with your nose right in it; hint of grape. Taste is initial subtle grape overtaken by dominant herbal muskiness, late bitter, subtle pine. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and dry, musky and bitter finish. Overall, the fruity aspect of Vic Secret is largely absent with more of the herbal, piney qualities coming through. That makes it somewhat different but the level of muskiness isn't altogether pleasant.
