Fat, fine, 3cm head on this one. Golden yellow, cloudy. Pine, resin, aromas, some pear drop on the side. Citrus, orange cordial. Sweet orange lemonade taste. Prickling carbonation. Full bodied and lingering taste bomb. Had to go to the label to check if there were some added orange flavor sources (there aren't). Impressive in total.

Pours jnclear, yeasty lookin blonde. Medium white head fades fairly fast. Scent is very mild, distant hops. Bit malty. Be yeast recognizable . Taste is rather bitter, medium hoppy, fruity. Mild malty base. Some BE yeast. Not great, but certainly drinkable and a decent choise when selection is fairly limited.
