500ml bottle [courtesy of Grumbo - cheers Graham!]. Cloudy, orange, dark golden colour with huge, firm, thick, frothy, moderately to mostly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity, hoppy and pale malty aroma, hints of mandarine and orange, some yellow stone fruit, a minimally zesty touch, marmalade, minimally funky overtones. Taste is sweet-ish, minimally biscuity, pale malty, citrusy fruity hoppy and slightly fruity and spicy, minimally funky yeasty, hints of mandarine, orange, orange biscuit, some yellow stone fruit, a bitter, zesty touch of marmalade. Slightly oily, watery texture, soft, simultaneously minimally dry palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation. Fairly hoppy, some nice, dirty aspects - good.
