33cl can from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours orange gold, partially hazy, with almost no foam. Aroma is markedly fruity, peach, tropical. Body is average, with moderate carbonation. Taste is a mix of quite some sweetness and a little acidity. Final is pretty dry.

Can that Em gave me - cheers! A hazy orange beer with a cream coloured head. Lightly tart, with a flavour of orange lollipops and vanilla mini milk ice creams. Gets a little too sweet as it warms. It's not a beer, but I actually thought it was was very enjoyable and the flavours worked well - as long as it was cold!
