Clear gold/yellow with fine white head & good lacings. Yeasty and spicy aroma. Very spicy/harsh- bites your tongue. Overcarbonated - unpleasant spitzy/sprinkly in your mouth! Not very important or interesting triple!

Shared with Cab: Clear gold with very fast disappearing head & no lace. Strong fruity (orange/honey) & spicy aroma - very sweet. Medium sweet taste with a light metal note. Rather harsh with a dry bitter end - but def. a blond with Charisma & decent drinkability!
