Medium, white head, soon reduced to white rim over cold hazed golden beer. Fresh exotic fruit, asafoetida, chalk, rhubarb, starfruit, passion fruit and a whiff of human sweat. Soda-like fruitiness, with mild lemon, passion fruit, starfruit, pineapple, lime. Very light, spritzy, almost no slickness despite the hops. Light, agreable, amusing. Thanks to Stef!

Bottle at home. A bit pale yellow color, white head. Smell and taste malts, citrusy, something hoppy, a bit odd. Hmm not a big fan.
