Pours an immense head, pinkish white, good density and retention, lo lacing but didn't expect any. The liquid is a pinkish orange with a mild metallic cast, translucent and on the whole clean. Zippy tangerine to tangelo citrus fills the nose, the saltiness comes through clearly, seems floral but that's likely just the citrus, maybe a whiff of pine freshness, the aroma array not typical. Medium to full-bodied, no real discernible carbonation past briefly during mouth entry, maybe it all disappeared during the pour. As a result, the feel is somewhat flat. Do get some pear here along with apple and cherry. But in the end it's all about the very dominant citrus. To its credit the salinity does provide counterpoint. Generally, I like it but wish for more subtlety and one or two more elements capable of full enunciation.
