Bottle from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a thick white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of vine tomatoes, white bread and grapefruit. Flavour of melon and tangerine with a salty finish. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is delicious - a great showcase of Nelson Sauvin. A classy beer.
