Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light minerally crisp palate, fairly dry for the style. Thinnish malts but smooth and about the right level of sweetness. A little lager tang in the mid. I don't really get much of the Wolf, Azacca and Ahtanum hops, I mean not much core character. There is decent pine and mild and slightly pithy citrus with a whisper of floral candy fruits. Light and semi dry finish. It's decent but doesn't quite gel for me, it doesn't want me to keep coming back from another mouthful. Perhaps a tad too dry and a little too sweet on the finish.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Faint haze on a pale to medium gold. Fairly loose but lasting just off white foam. Nose has jelly fruits. Maybe a strawberry thing. Sweet malt too. Taste has a sticky sweetness offset by a pretty sharp, almost acrid bitterness. It’s fairly dry with high-ish carbonation. Tangy bitter finish. Doesn’t work for me. It’s all over the shop.
