Can. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, very mildly dry and has a good fine minerally crisp snap. Light malts, sweet enough. Actually a refreshing change from the heavy-ish malt sweetness of any number of dipas recently. Crisp pine and nibbly hop spice leads a light but complex hoppy fruit array that is harder to pull apart than a seamans knot. A touch of a Nelson grape. Mild floral peach before an airy finish. Good stuff. Nerdy note - brewer refers to both Citra and Simcoe hops being used but not consistently (see description) so anyone's guess.
