500 ml bottle. Unclear golden with a big fluffy head. Grapefruit, mango, grassy zesty hops, hints of passion fruit, doughy and grainy. Hoppy zesty bitterness, fruity sweetness. Medium to full bodied, oily texture, lively carbonated, hoppy zesty bitter finish. Quite a good hoppy beer, very well made. Not sure on the style though, could be an IPL, IPA or an Imperial Pilsner…
