Can. Citrus, bit of grassy hops. Taste is little metallic, nice bitterness, little bit sweet and perfumey, biscuity malt hiding at the back. Nice but not one of their best. Second time I had it on tap at Server Land and it was a lot nicer. Very easy drinking. Good fruitiness and bitterness with a bit of spiky maltiness.
