Draught (backlog). Hazy yellow colour with a small but thick head, which leaves some lace. Aroma is a bunch of spices, some citrus, mild acidic notes as well as quite strong on the yeasty side of things. Flavour is yeasty, some citrus, spices, some acidic notes and mild wooden notes as well. Nicely fresh, but at the same time a quite dry palate.
