473ml can. Pours a cloudy pale gold-yellow with a medium, frothy, short lived, off-white head that laces. Spicy aroma of wheat malt, ginger, lime and coriander. Sweet, spicy flavour of wheat malt, lime, ginger, earthy yeast, coriander, clove, black pepper and faint bubble gum in a dry, slightly tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Guest ingredients overpower any Hefe-like characteristics, but it's refreshing and easy to drink.
