Can. A mild to medium haze on this yellowish gold beer, in a world of vanishingly short lived heads, it's nice to see a bubbly pale cream colour head that lasts awhile. Airy smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts, a good creamy sweetness. As is so often the case with this often arrogant brewery, they cannot be arsed to tell you what the hops are. I mean you are paying premium money for a premium craft beer, why should you be told how the beer has been assembled? This is why I am not a CW fanboy. The dominant hop here is, I presume, HBC 1019. Good pineapple and coconut and rich Sorachi like lime. Fantastically tropical hop fruity. A light and semi dry tangy pineapple hop fruity finish.
