330ml can. Clear gold with small white head, spotted retention. Aroma of pine, resinous hops, citrus and spice. Flavour is the same but you can really taste the different elements. Nice finish helped by a good bitterness and spiky mid-level carbonation. Slick medium body. Well brewed and enjoyable.
