(Can, 0.5l, from a supermarket, 20260123) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, caramel, orange peel and lightly pine. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were caramel, sweetness, grass, citrus fruits and bitterness. Aftertaste had caramel, citrus fruits and bitterness. Not so bad but the strong caramel notes cancelled the hops.
