Can shared with Undos, Gabor Gábor and Robi. Hazy yellow pour, white head. Nose is sweet, hoppy, zesty. Taste is moderately sweet, somewhat bitter, showing tropical fruits, light citric notes. Pineapple and mango mainly. Soem lactose too. Closes with a sweetish finish, has a light to medium body and soft carbonation. Tastewise it's ok, but why on Earth would someone put lactose in a session ipa.
