Ambar, turbia, con cierto sedimento y dos dedos de espuma manchada sin cerco, pero bastante compacta y muy duradera. Aroma muy lupulado, frutal, con mango y pomelo, y notas florales. En boca, igualmente super lupulada, aunque se nota debajo una base de rica malta acaramelada. Pero está llena de sabor frutal (pomelo predomina, lima). Cuerpo notable, gas justo. Muy seca. Potente final amargo.

Bottle thanks to André! It pours cloudy yellow-gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, smokey, cracker, wheat, smoked cheese and light barnyard. The taste is crisp, smooth, smoked, wheat, cracker, earthy, mild acidity, lactic and mild astringency with a pretty earthy finish. Light-medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Always an interesting style this one.... Decent.
