Can. Just a light haze on this yellowish gold beer, very small and ephemeral pale cream colour head. Light palate, a bit dry but not overly so, good fine minerally carbonation. The pale malts are light bodied but deliver a thin satisfying creamy sweetness. The Kiwi hops bring cooling pine and a good savoury bitterish vibe. Riwaka exotics are backed very well by Motueka lime and mild lemon. Mild hop spice on the crisp and semi dry finish. The can was gone before I knew it.

bitter aroma, bitter hops, strong hops, herbal cabbage like bitter hops, bitter overripe grapefruit hops. very slighlty sulphuric'ish. not sweet at all. anonymous malts, unless if it is the malts that add some of the bitterness, could be. quite brutal aroma.
flavor is tilted towards sulphuric cabbage bitter hops, but does taste very very good, there is a really solid balance between malts and the hops, and the hops are juicy without ever getting sweet or cloying. some parts are not so good (the cabbage sulphuric parts) but some parts are extremely excellent (balance malts and hops, the hop bitterness that is not bittersweet, the intensity, the smoothness despite the intensity). if not for the few weird notes , flavor would be absolutely astonishing.
