Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, a good fine minerally crisp. Slightly thin pale malts, at least mouthfeel wise but, a decent creamy sweetness keeps this dipa on an even keel. I do like a dipa that says hello to new hops, this one says 'sod that' and introduces 3 new hops! Alora takes front and centre with mandarin - Yuzu and a light but significant Bergamot streak. The other new hops bring a good bright citrus and tropical fruits streak. Looking for rose, maybe a hint, some light blueberry candy which I was also looking for. Mild but bright and sweetish melon. Crisp and hop spicy finish. Very interesting and very good hop fruity dipa. Not sure that Erebus and Manalita hops are going to set the world on fire but, Alora seems like it could be a new superstar, it already is in my book.
