33 cl bottle @ Timo A, BBE 04.06.2018
Aroma has rather nice tropical fruits and some bush leaves. Flavour has tropical fruits, bush leaves, grapefruit and vichy. Flavour is short and this feels somewhat watery. Palate is a bit too high on CO2. This is actually just hops and nothing else, where is the malt and body?

Hazed golden color with a white head. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body with an average carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Herbal/grassy, malty, mild citric and mild fruity flavor. Decent refreshing ale.
