Can purchased from France 44 via mail order.

Pours a hazy light copper color with a bright white head that leaves solid lacing.

Smells of crisp pale malts with large amounts of floral and light citrus hops. Also present are mild amounts of breadiness and larger amounts of tea-like herbal hops.

Tastes similar to how it smells, though the hops aren’t quite as robust. Mildly dry pale malts up front are joined quickly by light citrus and leafy hops. Midway through faint hints of bready flavors come into play, fading into a moderately bitter ending. Mouthfeel is good, with solid carbonation.

Overall this is a very drinkable beer and the hops in the nose are great. Well worth a shot.

Serving type: can
