Burnished golden colour, head is slightly beige-tinted, not bad but sinks quickly to a thin film, leaving some nice specks of lace behind. Bead is slow by steady. Looks a nice lager.

Smell very pleasant and floral. Lots of fruit - mandarins, grapefruit and sultanas with an earthy richness. Slightly tart character around the edge, but mostly sweet. Herbal kick to it as well. Unusual smell, but I like it a lot.

Taste has a similar character, with a huge hit of dried fruit - sultanas, dates and dried apricot. Lingers with a sweet glaze character before a slight phenolic bitterness comes through, then that glaze character re-emerges on the back and then trails off. Long profile to this, and interesting all the way through, but could definitely be cleaner; more bitter.

Bit of tingle on the feel, quite thick body. Good, not sure about the thickness on a lager.

A pleasant brew, tasty to say the least. Could be cleaner but definitely drinkable.
