Bottle from Oban Beer Seller. It pours clear and pale.... Straw yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and clean, floral, zingy, zesty, lemon - lime, sherbet, candy, straw, grain and a touch of spice. The taste is crisp, clean, snappy, airy malts, straw, grassy, light and easy going, mellow citrus (lemon - lime) and some toasty grains with a dry finish. Light body and rather lively, foamy carbonation. Super easy going stuff. Not a huge amount to it, but chuggable anyhow.
