0,5 l bottle. Pours hazy amber with small but lasting off white head. Aroma citruses and tropical fruit, decent malt base. Taste is quite sweet and mild bitter. Carbonation was quite lively at first, slowly settled with time. Probably reason why head lasts whole eternity. Finish is medium long, a kick of tropical fruit flavor followed by mellow bitterness.

Can from Beers of Europe. Pours lightly hazy (by modern murk standards) yellow gold with a thin white head. Aromas of light orange and stone fruit. Peach stone in fact. Taste is bready sweet, peach again, hint of nail varnish. Not entirely successful, but OK.
