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.

Pint can, WW. Pours hazy gold with a lovely white head. Nose is pine, cat piss, orange peel, melon. Flavor is orange peel, melon, light tropical fruit. Subdued flavor compared to the nose, but still good.
