Amber, soft haze, huge frothy head
Aroma of sweet fruits, light sweet apricot and orange, slight grain, grassy hops
Taste if grain, fruits as aroma, dab of yeast, rather bland
Palate - High carb - overcarbonated, light body, quite sweet. Finish as main flavour, hint of biscuit malt, rapid finish
Overall - Far too much carbonation, needed constant swirling. Rather plain and not great
