Pours a nice darkish amber from a can. Aroma is not much to speak of, kind of a general tropical fruit, but I think I have a cold coming on or something. Flavor is somewhat fruity and bitter, thick in the mouth. Okay beer.

Can 355ml (Beer Republic, 07/??/2017)
Clear deep golden colourm small white head. Resiny hoppy aroma has some buttery notes. Light to medium-bodied, so not so malty for ABV. Resin, pine, citrus in the flavour with hints of butterness. Quite bitter but with boozy kick. Maybe not all 100% here.
