330ml bottle, about 6C. Gold with a tightly packed white head that fades to a coat. Mild aroma of caramel, a little toast, hints of tropical fruits. Slightly syrupy. Taste is sweet with light caramel, some vague light fruits - pears, feijoa - indistinct hop bitterness. I really only bought this to tick off malt liquor as a style (it’s the only one I can recall seeing here), but this is really quite drinkable. Left to warm it’s pretty vilely sweet, but cold it’s streets ahead of any strong lager I’ve had.
