Can. A mild haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth and very slightly viscous start to the palate, good fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Light pale malts, a pretty forward sweetness, a little overcooked for me. Smooth cooling pine. Light cooling pine. Soft but rich stone fruits, a mild ripeness. Decent rounded citrus and mild candy fruits. Light finish. On paper, this should sing. It is very good but lacks that bit of fairy dust.
