330 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 6%. Hazy pale golden colour, small white head. Pleasant aroma of citrus and tropical fruits, hints of spruce. Citric and crisp mouthfeel. The flavour is slightly dry and very refreshing, citrus notes with hints of tropical fruits and spruce, ending in a well balanced hop bitterness.

L- Mid-gold but obscured by being ultra-cloudy despite having been rested for a couple of days. Pours with 3mm fine white head, fast receding to lacing.
S- At arms length, the moment I popped the can I got citrus/lychees. That continues in the glass, with mandarin orange added into the fruit-cocktail.
T- Oh heavens, I honestly almost choked on the first sip, it's very dry and pungent. Then comes strident perfumed flowers and exotic fruits (as above^).
F- This doesn't work for me, though it's not sooo undrinkable I'm at risk of ditching it. To me it's unbalanced, and doesn't taste like beer. It's more like a strong fruit-juice cocktail, with a heavy shot of Angostura Bitters (dry/pungent) plus a double shot of alcohol added.
O- I'm disappointed to be the one to list and first review this and find I don't enjoy it; I hope others who follow find it more to their tastes. I wouldn't choose to drink this again.
330ml can £1.99, bought from the Adnams shop [per the Directory here] on the Holkham Estate at Wells-next-the-Sea in Norfolk/UK. BBE: 01-2020
