Smell- weak hops, maybe some fruits. Foam- thin, malty, hops, faint fruits, faint citrus. Head is small, creamy white color, more orange than yellow tint. Sticks. Appearance- can, simple design. Hazy, orange, yellow color, no carbonation. From - snifter Taste - some fruits from start and malt, then goes hops and bitterness and stays like that in the aftertaste. The initial sip is ok until it goes to the aftertaste. Still not terrible I guess.

500ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish golden colour with average, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of lemon and grapefruit, a relatively dry, un-sugary touch of lactose sugar. Taste is citrusy fruity hoppy, notes of lemon and grapefruit, a minimally dry touch of lactose sugar with rather subtle sweetness. Mild, not overly intense, not too sweet, least of all sugary - nice.
