330ml bottle. Clear, yellow-ish golden colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of apricot, mirabelle, yellow stone fruit in general, a slightly artificial touch of "Trolli Pfirsichringe". Taste is bitter hoppy with a mineral touch, nearly undetectable, diluted hints of apricot and mirabelle; almost watery as water.
