5 week old can A: Poured a thick, crackling, slowly falling white head over a medium gold body. S: Pears and light caramel but no noticeable orange. T: There's the orange. Tart and mildly bitter orange notes blend with the pear for a nice fruity balance, countered by light wafer and caramel sweetness. Tart aftertaste. M: Soft active carbonation and a fullish body. Oily finish. O: Orange is fairly subtle and adds a tasty dimension. A bit strong for the style but good enough to buy again.
