Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small but tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has a good minerally crispness. Light smooth malts that don't get in the way. Decent Nelson - huzzah, well decent by 2024 standards, a clear soft gooseberry. Light tangerine and a smorgasbord of very light but complex hop fruits on the back end. Modest bitter linger. Light cooling pine throughout. Nice clean tasty IPA.

--Sample, thanks fonefan! -- Clear deep golden, rich firm head. Mild piney grapefruit aroma. Bone dry with light body and clean, criso mouthfeel. Piney grapefruit, crackers. Long bitter finish. Slender and quite hoppy.
