(Can) Pours opaque golden amber with big dense white head. Great aroma - creamy and fruity - mango and pawpaw. Great mouthfeel too - full bodied, smooth with bright carbonation. There’s plenty of hops with a good bitterness through the palate and into a long finish. There’s a nice fruitiness up front - orangey citrus and tropical, and a general creaminess through the plate. Maybe a bit of alcohol towards the finish too. Very nice.
