14/I/2012 1Pt. 9.4Fl.Oz. bottle @ RBBWG 2012 - BB: n/a (2012-31) Thanks to JorisPP for bringing the bottle!
Little cloudy orange beer, small off-white head, unstable, little adhesive. Aroma: very fruity, peaches, bubble gum, spices, some wood, citrus, alcohol. MF: soft carbon, full body. Taste: very fruity, peaches, almonds, bitter taste, some passion fruits, raisins. Aftertaste: fruity, some pineapple, little bitter but very soft, little sweet and malty. Good, but I prefer the original Jai Alai though.
