Keg at Craft Beer Junction, 18/08/23. Moderately hazed orange with an off white cap that settles to a swirl. Nose is peach, light berry fruits, floral, sugars. Taste comprises mixed tropical fruits, strawberry, icing sugar, lactic tang, watermelon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering climax. Decent easy drinking and refreshing affair.
