500ml bottle. Clear dark gold/light amber, finger of off-white foamy head, nice retention and lacing. Aroma of grainy malts, grassy and some citrus. Taste is quite fruity which was a nice surprise, gooseberry, melon, citrus, malts. A slight zesty bite in the finish with a moderate bitterness. Light to moderate body, refreshing, could do with a touch more carbonation. Good.
