Appearance: A lightly hazy golden orange colour with a big three finger white head that had great retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Orange, grapefruit peel, biscuit, light caramel, pine, pineapple, mango and blueberries.
Taste: Moderate sweetness, biscuit, honey, papaya, pineapple, light bitterness, mandarin peel and rind, and grass.
