Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth pale malts bring a light creamy sweetness. Smooth pine and brief flash of fresh orange juice before a decent bitterness kicks in. Touches of peach and grapefruit. Smooth finish. Good stuff, very drinkable.

Post GBBF tasting at ChrisOs. Can. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Modest pine. Light dry orange citrus. Dry finish brings a mild mettalic note. Clean but dry and a little wishy washy.
