Can. A medium haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness does it's best to be dominant but the hops here show them who's boss. Light cooling pine into a tangy bitterness and some savoury skunk. Soft citrus, a touch of bitterish melon, some suggestions of tropical fruits. Smooth finish delivers some juicy hop fruits. Good stuff, I think more could have been done with this very good quintet of hops but, overall a good all round hop character dipa.
