Very light haze on this gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth but has decent fine carbonation. Slightly thin but smooth malts, mildly sweet. Trace of esters in the mid. Hops have a spicy edge and then present light but resinous orange dominated citrus. A mildly tangy bitterness on the light finish. Pretty drinkable and apart from some minor esters, pretty clean.
