Can. Just a light haze on this slightly yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a thin but adequate creamy sweetness. Hops bring good cooling pine and a trace of skunk. Light but bright citrus, orange and touches of tangerine and mandarin. Motueka lime brightens the back end, adds variety and brings a mild tang. Light finish leaves a very mild hop spice linger. Bright and crushable. RIP Phantom. Sniff!
