Bottle from Lidl/Aldi, which one I forget. It pours hazy golden - yellow with a lasting, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, quite juicy, tropical vibes, guava, watermelon, fanta, blood orange, floury bread and biscuit. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, quite juicy, bright, pithy, zingy, tangy, tropical, orange/blood orange, grapefruit, fanta, floury bread and biscuit with a dry, pithy finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Easy going and very drinkable.
