Cloudy amber; big-bubbled head diminishes quickly. Aroma inconsequential. The beer’s taste arouses interest. Hoppy bitterness, but a trace of mango-like fruit, and a dusty aftertaste that hastens another draught. Frothy feel. A good beer. Not a great beer, mind you, but a good one, which is, in itself, a blessing.

Poured to a wine glass.

A: Body is light coppery with some yellow tones. The head is white to beige with a pretty good retention.
S: The aroma is lightly fruity and shows a big malty profile, in what is a pretty good redemption of the style.
T: Taste starts off sweet with minor notes of vanilla which then moves on to show a light orange to tangerine peel like aroma before jumping into what makes this style: a firm hop bitterness that is pretty well balanced with the whole sweetness of the malts. The light fruitiness here almost makes it resemble a belgian dubbel.
M: Body is medium. Carbonation is spot on. Alcohol is unnoticed. Bitterness is medium high, sweetness is also medium high.
O: Overall, this might be one of the best redemptions of the style I've ever had, even with the light twist of the fruitiness.
