Straw coloured, very foamy, but head thicker than real champagne-bubbling.
Very beery-malty all the same, but with very fresh, fruity overtones, as of exotic fruit (grapefruit, guave, papaya?)- or better: fruit-sherbet, yes, including the smell of the little mint-leaf as decoration.
Taste: Extremely surprising: liquorice Magnitude 9 - like as in black drops - not overly sweet. Even aniseed or fennel. Slightly minty again... It IS dry, brut if you like, but NOT thirst-quenching.
Mouthfeel: difficult to estimate at 4°C, but seen the temperature, the warming effect at the back of the throat gives credence to the claimed alcohol content. Liquorice/aniseed flavours keep overwhelming all other expression.
A very good description taken from the Oxford Bottled Beer Database.
