Peachy orange, very slight haze; very carbonated, good, slightly yellowish, head, collapsing. Hoppy, herbal, very faint camphor in the nose. Very hopbitter taste, even bit of bogmyrtle, but not too much for its 5.1 ABV. Very slight biscuity flavour, lurking under all the hops. White grapes retronasal. Very refreshing. Palate is a bit empty - not really surprising for a well-attenuated bottom-fermenting beer. This is an exceptionally enjoyable "lager". I caught myself leasurely drinking away, 'stead of carefully recording flavours and impressions. Good sign - if all "strong lagers" were like this one... Good Hell! - JPP as a lager lout!
