Deep orange, small head. Sickly sweet aroma, some aromatic fruity hops too. Super-sweet caramel and piney taste. Touch of coffee cake made with treacle. Decent flowery and fruity hops. Quite a hoppy finish, pretty perfumey, but also very sticky sweet. So caramelly sweet. Yikes. Quite how you Americans drink this stuff without getting spontaneous diabetes, I’ll never work out!
