Deep amber, very slight haze, dense white head with good lacing
Aroma - Tropical fruits, mango, very fruity aroma, fruity caramel malts
Taste - Lots of fruits here - tropical fruits, grapefruit, touch of pineapple, fruit salad, getting a slight hint of banana (?), sweet fruity caramel malt
Palate - thin to medium body, quite oily. Finish of fruity malts - too dry tough and has an over bitter linger
Overall - Great fruit salad flavour, nice sweet fruity malts. Would prefer the finish to be less dry and bitter
