Nice.
On the pour it's light golden and fairly fizzy, with a big fizzy white head.
There is a strong floral hoppy nose, although it smells a little bit artificial though.
On the palate, it has a light-medium mouth feel with a very odd floral, perfume taste, especially on the finish.
Not too dry.
This is a peculiar one with the floral taste. It almost reminds me of a single malt whiskey I had that was floral (violets), the Bowmore 26 Year Old if anyone's interested.
I like this, mainly for it's strangeness.
It was a limited edition daisan, which came out back in May, and I've only got around to reviewing it now. Not sure if it's still available.
Overall, strange, and not bad.
