Can. Just a light haze on this gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, slightly thin mouthfeel wise. A modest creamy sweetness. The hops are an interesting prospect, Strata is a failed hop for me, Citra, a warhorse, not in its prime but, you wouldn't want to mess with it! Denali, frankly a stealth hop these days, rarely seen. Taste wise, it means crisp cooking pine, ripe orangey citrus. Mellow skunk. Ripe pineapple. Light ripe hop fruity finish. Fine. Bit ripe but fine.
