On tap at Maria's Packaged Goods and Community bar. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Herby ipl. Creamy in mouth a little herb on on the finish some earthyness. It's a decent ipl I thought. Some sherbet hop on the aroma. A little like some white wine I can't place or is that the perfume from Maria stood next to me. No its a decent lemon citrus ipl.
