Opaque, yellow meringue-like body with low, fizzy, white head that recedes to partial cover. Candy-like maltiness to the fairly yeasty, alcohol saturated flavour with very agreeable herbal hop character and moderate finishing bitterness. Medium-light body with moderately strong and lightly prickly carbonation. Strong alcohol warming. Bottle at RBSG’05.
