Pours a clear, golden amber coloration with a medium, frothy, lasting head and slightly visible carbonation. Smells of biscuity malt and floral, somewhat grassy hops, with notes of citrus and orchard fruit. Taste id a good balance of biscuity, slightly caramelly malt and floral, mildly resinous hops with notes of citrus and orchard fruit: tangerine, peach, gooseberry, with just a hint of tropical hops: pineapple, papaya, grass and pine as well. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some caramel malt, orchard fruits and a touch pine lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

There's quite a lot going on here, but this still manages a decent balance of biscuity, caramel malt and floral, resinous hops with notes of citrus, tropical and orchard fruit notes, although it is a tad too sweet and floral for my personal taste.
