Can. Very light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. What? Surely hazy enough to be added as such, he said with teeth grinding sarcasm! Smooth light palate with decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts bring a decent creamy sweetness. Slightly resinous and piney citrus, fair bit of smooth citrus peel. Good pine overlay throughout. Touch of tropical fruits. Smooth piney resinous citric finish. Tidy and well joined up and drinkable but feels old school.

Can shared at home. Clear darker golden with good sized almost white head. Dank fruity hops, alcohol, weedy hops, light flowers, orange peel, lychee, grassy, sugary malts. Over medium sweet and bitter. Over medium bodied with boozy finish. Decent aroma but a little rough and boozy.

440ml can. Sligfhtly cloudy, orangey golden colour with small to average, frothy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma, caramel malty background with a honey touch, hints of resin, lemon, some grass, a touch of liquorice. Taste is sweet, caramel malty with a honey touch, rather weak, piney and citrusy hoppy, hints of mandarine, orange, some pineapple, a resinous touch, a rubber-like touch of liquorice as well. Oily texture, smooth and soft palate, fine carbonation. Pretty classic West Coast style, malt dominated, condensed, oily hop flavours. Reminds me a bit of Bear Republic IPAs concerning the liquorice effect of condensed hop oil.
