Can 440ml (LFB, BB 12/2018)
Orange-amber colour, small white head. Neutral aroma has a bit of bready grainyness and fruityness. Light to medium-bodied. Fruit candyish tropical fruits, caramalt, grainyness in the flavour with some earthy hops in the finish. Maybe it is about malts but this doesn't taste very refreshing or fruity, more on bready-grainy side.
