Deep amber (or light chestnut?). Good off white head as poured, with excellent retention and some solid lacing. Slightly nutty, bit malt, aroma. Some tannic malt taste and after, bit dry (as in, powder) lasting. Powdery, somehow. Got because it was on and I wanted a second half, genuinely surprised I’ve not (officially, at least) had it before…

Opaque lemon sherbet. Some creamy head as poured, halo and OK surface retention with good - if irregular - lacing. Mivvi fruit ice cream aroma. Similar, pithy citrus, taste and a dryer similar after. Silky, with peppery effervescence.
