Dull colour, medium head. Aroma has some orangey hop, a bit of muddled yeastiness. Some lime in there, low bitterness. It’s okay at best.

473mL can, pours a clear light copper with a medium white head. Aroma reveals a nice bouquet of WC hops, with plenty of piney hops, pine needles, touch of floral hops. Flavour matches accordingly, with a very vibrant expression of woody piney hops, light floral notes, citrus peel, and more pine. Thin malt base that just serves as a foundation for those great WC hops. This is frankly excellent.

This seemed to be one of the more popular of their beers, judging from its appearance at many tables. And the appearance is unique, almost as clear as water. Nose is mainly floral lemon. Taste is very lightly bitter mixed citrus. OK on a hot day.
