The beer pours with a deep golden color, and a solid head - though the latter dissipated fairly quickly. It has a bright, extremely fresh aroma, with a citrus scent particularly to the fore. The taste combined a maltiness with flavors of apple (especially green apples) and citrus fruits, with grapefruit emerging more strongly. The beer behaved like a champagne in the mouth, with intense carbonation. All around, an extremely drinkable, balanced, flavorful beer - top rating!
