Can at Cloudwater. Almost clear gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a little thin on the mouthfeel, mild sweetness. Crisp hops, light cooling pine, light hop spice. What tastes like Centennial lemony citrus, trace of Motueka lime. Whisper of Nelson grapey tang on the light and semi dry hop spicy finish. Spicy linger. Decent if a tad dry.
