Can. A modest haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is very slightly viscous but also has a good fine minerally crispness. Light soft malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. The intriguing hop combo is not delivered in a memorable way. Soft pine and hop spice. Some mild Nelson grape, fairly boozy. Dolcita, for such a punchy hop, it's barely there taste wise. Touch of Enigma black pepper and, if you dig really deep, cranberry. Crisp hop spicy finish. It ain't bad but, should have done more hop flavour wise for me.

As Expected…
