bouteille 33cl. Cuivrée, col beige qui disparaît très vite. Arôme est fruité avec un bouquet de pelure d’orange et citron, le tout sur une légère levure. En bouche, palais est bien pétillant et laisse un léger picotement. Reste axée sur un profile fruité de pelure orange, pamplemousse qui donne un côté à la fois doux/sucré et amer fruité avec le houblon. Ce dernier est fleuri et fruité et se termine sur un malt caramel léger.
