Can, 0.355l. Aroma of citrus, passion fruit, pine, resin and herbs. Pours hazy dirty yellow color with thin creamy white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts juicy unripe tropical fruity and citrusy, following is herbal, piney and peachy, mouthfeel is smooth, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, creamy texture and average carbonation in palate. East is as good as west…
