Bottle shared in London. Thanks to Ang. Pours perfectly clear gold with a frothy white head that settles into a cream. The nose holds a bit of melon and tangerine, with undertones of pale bread and pine. Medium sweet flavor with some gummy citrus fruits, more tangerine, white bread, light minerals, lemon rind. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pretty well balanced in the end, with more melon, moderate pale malt sweetness, some citrus pith. Very nice overall.
