Can at L42. It pours yellow gold with a massive foamy white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, tropical fruit salad, um bungo, mango, papaya, marmalade, brioche, toasted oat, honey and white bread. The taste is smooth initially, pretty bitter, earthy, hay, grass, tropical fruits, overripe stone fruit and minerals. Medium body and fine carbonation. Aroma is nice, but taste is a bit of let down. Ok.
