330ml can - Pours a hazy golden colour with an average sized mostly lasting foamy white head. The aroma is peachy. A moderately sweet taste, peach extract is the a dominant flavour but there is a hoppy bitterness to moderate the sweetness. Okay.

Fulsome body, moderate carbonation and slick mouth feel. Lots to like about it. Chilli stops it from being too sweet. Well concocted.
