Nice full two finger plus head, kind of eggshell white, deep dimples appear as it dissolves, strong lacing. Cloudy orangish liquid but not fully opaque. The nose is loaded with pink graperuit, orange, lime citrus scents, as much peach and apricot as more tropical mango, guava notes, light dankness, some cracker, overall creamy texture in the nostrils, nothing groundbreaking but satisfying. Full-bodied, foamy mouth entry. Here the tarry herbaceousness steps it up a couple of notches. Buoyant, juicy fruit, not bite nor dryness. The citrus equally juicy and as sweet as sour. Malts help to soften the profile and provide ballast. For all of the flavor has a clean finish. Pretty damn crushable. Much preferred it close to ice cold than approaching room temperature.
