500 ml capped bottle. Poured a faint hazy rich golden-amber coloured ale with a generous one finger slight beige creamy foamy head that had a very long retention and tons of micro bubbles. Active carbonation. Good lacing. The aroma is moderate sweety malts, faint aciditic fruits, citrus, faint floral hops. The flavour is grainy malts, moderate floral hops, a touch of spices, chilli. The mouthfeel is full. This light bodied ale has a dry malty and slight bitter finish. A pleasant tasting ale.

Bottled (from K Citymarket Kivihaka). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, some floral hops as well as some mild mild grassy and malty notes. Flavour is quite grassy and spicy with some smooth maltyness to back the bitterness up. As it warms up a bit the bitterness in it grows. 7 6 6 7 7
