Thin malts, sweetish. Light pine and mild hop spice. Good tropical fruits, A Trace of skittles. Mango and light orange peel. Light hot spicy finish. Nice! Very drinkable.

Bottle. Amber with a white head. 3+ Aroma is surprisingly delicate with mandarins and citrus blossoms, spices, cantaloupe, mango skin, bread crust. Medium bodied, highish carbonation. Tastes pretty much as it smells. It's sweet with a fair bit of fruit and medium high bitterness. At first I wonder what the hell it's offering that it needs to be anything like as strong but after a while the firmness of the finish begins to register and I'm somewhat mollified.

On tap at the Lumsden. Pours bright pale yellow. Peach, nectarine, something a bit tropical, something a bit chalky. Fairly chalky mouthfeel. Not for me.
