Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dalla frutta tropicale. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma non molto persistente. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida e anche qui la grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il colore è giallo dorato brillante. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è carico. La forza gustativa è elevata. La continuità gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di amaro. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, agrumi, pompelmo, mango e frutto frutto della passione.
