Bottle. Colour – hazed orange-gold colour with a small white cap, and very little lacing. Aroma – light fruits, light herbs (I’m assuming what herbed notes there were was hibiscus), and floral hops.

Flavour – very malty up front with hints of hibiscus and fruity hops in the finish. I really didn’t care for this beer.
