440ml can. Hazy, orange, dark golden colour with average, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Mosaic dominated, juicy, tropical fruity, slightly citrusy and minimally leafy, hoppy aroma, sweet-ish, wheaty and oaty malty background, notes of passion fruit, some blueberry, mango, hints of grapefruit, a touch of pineapple and melon. Taste is sweet-ish, wheaty and oaty malty, juicy, tropical fruity and slightly citrusy fruity hoppy, notes of passion fruit, mango, melon, some grapefruit, blueberry, ovetones of mandarine and sweet orange; rudimentary fade-out of the malty basis leads to a less creamy, more watery and minimally alcoholic finish.

Very harmonious and balanced, maybe a tad too sweet on the malty side; but definitely a very well composed hop bill with on the one hand self-contained, on the other hand complementary hop flavours. Highly drinkable, very tasty - great!
