Pint glass showing medium amber with a finger of clean white foam.

The nose shows moderately intense notes of grapefruit and light malt.

The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Light grapefruit with a strong malt backbone and a mild pine bitterness.

Bottled@O'malleys,Vaasa. Goldeny orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is toffee, some fruity, nectary and floral notes. Flavour is much on the fruity and nectary side of things, but also has some sweet and bready malts to it.
