330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, amber colour with average to huge, fluffy, slowly osteoporosing, minimally lacing, off-white head. Fruity and slightly leafy, hoppy aroma, hints of mango, yellow stone fruit, some pine, pale and caramel malty background with an almond touch. Taste is minimally sugary, pale and caramel malty, slightly bitter, fruity hoppy, hints of mango, yellow stone fruit, a sweaty, resinous touch, leafy overtones. Slightly disharmonious, unintegrated; also sporting several minimally unpleasant features, e.g. the sugary touch, the hints of almond, the leafy aspects. So-so.
