Backlog October 2016. Almost clear orange golden body under a light, white head. Strong citric fruity aroma with grapefruit and fresh grass, some pale malt as well. Taste is pale malt, plenty of citric fruit, pine and balanced bitterness. Feels quite refreshing with a nice balance between sweet malt and fruity hops, balanced body as well and pleasant aftertaste. A refreshing beer with decent taste, nice.
