Spicy, fruity orange and yeasty taste. Some clove & coriander. Some dusty and floral notes, first mentioned probably from the yeast. Enjoyable.

Cloudy golden blonde. Dusty, perfumey yeast aroma. Dry, herbal taste. A bit fizzy. For me, it finishes a bit sweet, perfumey. Not bad, but the balance and fizziness aren’t really there.
