Can. Just a light haze on this orange gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy and smooth start to the palate, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Smooth cooling pine into a good vibrant hop fruit array. Nice bright Azacca lemony citrus heads up good Nectaron stone fruits. Maybe some soft Nelson grape buried underneath. Riwaka a little hard to pick up here. Modest hop spice on the crisp finish. Nice IPA from Arbor, a brewery that I once feel again that I need to pay close attention to, a bit like 2010 all over again!
