Pint glass showing turbine pale gold with a finger of clean white quickly dissipating foam.

The nose shows intense notes of guava and papaya.

The palate is well carbonated and light to medium bodied. Guava and durian forward with a strong bitterness that is a bit too intense and goes on a bit too long.
