Bottle. Sour malt and peach aroma. Amber color with large head. Very sweet peach-apple malt and mild astringent finish. Strong acidity. Decent but forgettable.

Slightly cloudy golden, with a small white head that leaves some lace. Weak, but pleasant aroma is dominated by malt, with a little yeasty fruit, and some brown sugar. Refreshing flavour - sweet, fruity with a little citrus touch.

Bottle: Poured a golden color with white head. Aroma is grapefruit with some piney like hops. The taste sticks to that grape fruit taste with some metallic bite of hops to it.
