Panda thanks to Wingman. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, thin frankly. A thin creamy sweetness, some grain. Light pine. Stodgy ripe citrus. Light finish brings a mild bitterness. Hmmm, another Hop Butcher failure. Not the normal sequence of events. Starting to wonder if this latest batch of imports is flawed. This is weak and doesn't feel right for this normally solid brewer.
