Smell-weak fruits, faint mango. Foam-thin, citrus, fruits, weak acidic tones. Head is medium sized, white with a yellow tint. Sticks. Appearance - label with clouns, maybe worth doing this for Halloween? Hazy orange in color, weak to medium in carbonation. From - pint Taste - weak fruits, weak citrus, faint mango, faint juice, hops. Same sweet and quite fruity, feels close to being medicinal, but I would not even give faint medicinal tones here. Quite good, but then on third sip feels bit off. Initial impression was way better but as it settled it gets worse. Start - 3.5, but reduced to 3.2.
