Bright white head, tops out around a finger and evaporates extremely quickly, leaves no lacing behind. Very slight gauziness to the liquid, pure yellow and contrary to the head there’s an abundance of carbonation bubbles visible. The nose is like getting hit in the face with a cantaloupe, all melon all the time, floral in a meadowy way, bubblegum and banana fit right in, a hint of wheat germ. Medium-bodied, good downwards palate pressure without much carbonated movement. Very similar in the mouth just with less intensity than the nose. Bubblegum, watermelon, cantaloupe predominate. The main changes to me are an elevated graininess and the addition of some white citrus. Clean finish, plenty of retronasal presence. Like it, wouldn’t have more than one in a sitting though.
