Description

Nose
Innocent nose on orange juice, butterscotch and freshly cut pineapple. Some wood shavings and freshly cut grass. Pleasant, but nothing special.
Palate
The malt is a touch creamy with immediately a sweet and sour mix of caramel, oranges and peach and some quinine. The green grass lingers. Becomes a tad sweeter and the bitterness slowly fades.
