The beer I'm drinking is different to the description as it's only 9% ABV. I get aromas of orange peel, nectarine, marshmallow, cherry and nougat. The taste is very bold. There's more cherry, plus grapefruit and pine needles galore. It's very smooth, though the alcohol leaves its mark half way down your oesophagus .

T42 Christmas Bottleshare. Big thanks to Tips for the Aussie bottle hall. Light haze on this gold beer, small white head. Light palate, semi-dry and with decent fine carbonation. Smooth but thin malts, sweetish. Mild peach, a little ripe citrus. Smooth pine and light pineapple. Mild hop spice. Smooth finish. Pretty good.

Tap at Hair of the Dog, Phloen Chit, Bangkok. Poured a hazy light orange colour with a round white head. The aroma is big orange peel zesty citrus and alcohol. The flavour is moderate to strong bitter with a smooth, rich tropical citrus, light alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. For 10.5% the alcohol is reasonably well hidden and with bags of fruit that seems to keep it there.
