Can. A medium haze on this gold beer, good size pale cream colour head, persistent. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. The quartet of Kiwi hops are delivered with aplomb. Cooling pine into surprisingly punchy Nelson, obvious gooseberry and grape. Riwaka lychee and a touch of Motueka floral lime that goes well with late emerging, slightly tangy and slightly ripe lemon, presumably Pac Sunrise. A few esters I could do without but, overall, this brew is a fine IPA and, to be honest, well exceeded my preconceptions.
