Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine. The trio of modern hops bring juicy limey citrus, floral lemonade. Mellow citrus. A mild hop spice nip on the back end. Tidy and drinkable, good hop character.

Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, light bodied but, never feels thin. A mild sweetness. Hops bring light cooling pine. Light but bright juicy hop fruits. Stone fruits, mild citrus. Some Superdelic berry exotics on the back end that also brings a teeny pinch of hop spice. Clean, bright and very crushable.
