Can. A mildly hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crisp snap. Slightly thinnish malts, a light creamy sweetness. Crisp pine hop intro into a little light but persistent hop spice. A nice juicy smorgasbord of hop fruits, melon and very light crisp tropical fruits on the back end. A good dipa, it's light and crisp and fairly punchy, just lacks for a little fairy dust.
