440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet Madla. ABV is 6.3%. Hazy yellow colour, moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of citrus, also pineapple and other tropical fruits. Citrus and tropical fruits in the flavour too, not too sweet, but the bitterness could with advantage be firmer. Still a nice and refreshing beer.
