Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - solid orange and not much head after a fizzy start.
Nose - big clementine notes on opening the can, even before pouring. Not sure I'm getting the balm at all.
Taste - more of the same really, some tart and funk too.
Palate - light to medium bodied, tangy and funky sour finish. Decent linger.
Overall - quite nice.
