Cardiff Mini-break Beer#35. Tropical fruit in both aroma and taste with pine also infused in both. This combo makes this hazy yellow coloured brew very tasty indeed, as well as crisp for its strength. Chelsea have just equalised at PSG whilst sipping this one, not that I care.

440ml can. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of ripe/candied citrus, orange, grapefruit, light gooseberry and white wine. Taste is a bit sweet, candied citrus, orange, grapefruit, tangy gooseberry, white wine, slightly dank. Medium bodied.
Good considering this can was 4 months old (bought online so I didn't realise its age), which is getting on a bit for a hoppy IPA.
