Sample (thanks fonefan!). Yellow colour with not that much head. Aroma is the one of when you open a box with new shoes in it, with some mild apples to it. Flavour is apples, mild spiciness, some peppery tones with a mineralic edge to it.

Hazy pour with a small head. It tasted good at first, but there seems some sugar been added as there is a lingering sweetish after taste. Apart from that, it was ok.
