Almost clear gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry and reasonable carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Light dry floralness and some hop dust - mild. Mellow lime and pine. Dry finish brings more hop dust. Light finish. Foundation of a good beer but needs cleaning up, too much hop dust.
