Can. A mild haze on this gold beer, tiny pale cream colour head. Light crisp palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, thin and semi dry. Crisp cooling pine hop intro, after that, it's slightly disappointing. Some Luminosa goodness and some Audacia unsweet rose and mellow black pepper, all good stuff but for the light but hard to ignore soapy element. Crisp finish. Another of those brews that fell slightly short of greatness. Still good.
