Can. Deep gold with a modest white head. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, herbs, light bread. Medium bodied, carbonation is just on the low side of moderate. Just a touch of booze. Only sweetish, with softer pale bready notes than suggested by the rather straight-ahead aroma. The fruit and resinous pine sit better as a consequence, with firm bitterness gripping gradually. The hops were not that interesting but this is more than solid.
