Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, reasonable fine carbonation emerging late on. A very mild dryness. Smooth light pale malts, a light but pleasing creamy sweetness. The warhorse and Waimea deliver light cooling pine, juicy citrus and a soft savoury skunk that runs underneath. Mellow bitterness on the back end along with a touch of citrus peel. Even later, a touch of pineappley tropical fruits. Soft finish leaves a tangy bitter linger. Good all rounder dipa, could do with a tad more carbonation for me.
