Can. Just a very light haze on this burnished gold beer, good cream colour head. Light smooth palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth pale malts, a modest and slightly grainy sweetness. Orange peel hops and crisp pine, some dry and mildly bitter pith. Hint of something more exotic on the back end but, the HBC638 hops are a bit lost and, frankly wasted here. Light semi dry crisp finish leaves a mild hop spice and bitter citric peel linger. A bit too close to style for me. It's clean and reasonably drinkable and avoids the caramel malts of some west coasters but I'm never going to get excited on a fairly trad take like this.
