(355ml can from a friend) Pours lightly hazed deep orangish gold with a decent white head showing lace. Aroma of fresh apple, sweetened lemon, grapefruit, soft berries, sweetish honeyed malt, wildflowers, cut hay, some fruit skins maybe. Flavour is rather sweet up front with honeyed brioche malt, sweetened lemon and grapefruit, cut flowers, floral potpourri quality, maybe some berry, estery bubblegum-like fruitiness, semi-drying finish with floral notes to the fore, touch of pine too, a little citrus zest and lingering honeyed grains. Light bodied, slightly oily, fairly soft carbonation. Feels less APA and more English bordering on Belgian with the estery vibes, nice easy drinker if a touch sugary for 5%.
