Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, brief smooth start, good fine minerally carbonation quickly takes over. Smooth pale malts, a light but foward creamy sweetness. Alora hops in a dipa - yaaay. Crisp cooling pine into a soft Earl Grey Bergamot. The yuzu vibe is a modest accompaniment. Light smooth finish brings a hop spice nip. Good effort. Personally, I think this would have been top drawer with a less sweet malt profile but, that is a minor nit pick.
