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.
