I was disappointed about not being able to review it. Took some notes anyway which were typed out on my phone:<\/p>\n<p><em>Hazey and slightly amber. Brown<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>2 finger head, faded fast<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Aroma &#8211; Tart. Lactic acid. Slightly acetic. Cherries<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Taste &#8211; Some mango.
