Look is as advertised, clear. Not a cloud in sight. Very nice gold color. It's not a common look on the clarity/color combination. Light-moderate, but fine, head.
The smell kicks off mostly peachy. Sweetness and depth, it's all there and intense. It's plenty piney, too. Resin more than anything, enough to compete with the peach. Slight malt. It's not super complex, but the good stuff is real hammer-and-anvil heavy.
The taste has even more fruit flavors, but it's somehow less sweet. Peach is dialed back, and it's joined by desiccated white wine grapes, cantaloupe, and starfruit. Pine is much diminished, too. Bitterness is moderate, which is fine in the abstract, but the other flavors are so dialed back from the nose that they don't compete for space like they should. Malt even steps into the void.
Feel is pillowy with extremely fine carbonation. No prickliness at all. Medium-heavy weight. Alcohol is barely detectable. The only knock is that the bitterness is a little strong for the malt aftertaste.
