The brilliantly clear gold body and bright white head give off a complex aroma dominated by resiny hops and supported by light caramel, honey, grapefruit, orange, and some light strawberry esters. It has a light water cracker-esque body with hints of caramel and moderate carbonation. The hop presence is far more subdued in the flavor and bitterness compared to the aroma. There's just a hint of resin, a light astringency, and a dry finish. The delicate nature of this extremely easy-drinking beer would compliment a light salad topped with blueberries or strawberries.
