Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a clearish straw gold with a full two fingers of eggshell colored fluffy foam that lingers. Aromas of raw wheat, clove, coriander and citrus. Palate is similar, maybe a touch of oxidation. Very light on the palate, but smooth. Enjoyable.

250ml bottle. Opalescent, yellow-ish golden colour with average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Minimally raw and bready, wheaty malty aroma, floral and citrusy fruity overtones, a touch of chamomile, whiffs of orange peel. Taste is wheaty malty with low residual sweetness, mildly bitter, zesty citrusy fruity and minimally floral, hints of orange peel, a weak touch of chamomile. Minimally oily, watery texture, smooth and minimally dry palate, medium to fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Decent composition but very cautious - OK.

Bottle from HoTM. It pours clear blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, perfumed, intoxicating, big pear drops character, melon, apple, fruit gums, sponge cake, rich tea biscuit and alcohol. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, bitter - sweet, plenty of estery fruits, pear drops, melon, apple, tutti fruitti, grass, grain and some raw alcohol with a drying, boozey finale. Medium body and high, foamy carbonation. Decent elements to it, but a bit rough around the edges.
