Tap. This is what I would call an IPL. Pours clear light amber with a small white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma is a beautiful mix of grapefruit, pine and pineapple, subdued. Flavor is pine, grapefruit, spruce - no grainy notes typical of standard pale lagers. Medium sweet and a light citric and bitter finish. Light body but a nice silky mouthfeel. Very enjoyable; would be quite sessionable. Too bad it is not more widely available.
