The colour is amber; the liquid somewhat cloudy and the finger thick head is off white, it slowly sinks down leaving a fine lacing.

The smell is medium strong, the gentle smell of American hops (cascade?) hits the nose, but there is also some sweetish malt, a touch of diacetyl and a minimal hint of smoke/tar.

The taste is complex with distinct grapefruit bitterness, some butter/margarine, a crisp clean bitterness, some smoked notes of band aid and flowers. The aftertaste got a growing fresh bitterness with some sourish notes and a gentle almost chemical hoppyness.

The carbonation is very strong with big bubbles. And in a way, it replaces some of the missing body (due to the low alcoholic content).

A grand beer, especially considering the low ABV.
