440ml can. Milky golden colour with average, firm, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, snow-white head. Biscuity, pale malty and grassy, fruity, hoppy aroma, notes of gooseberry, a touch of white grapes, sugar powder, mellow floral overtones. Taste is crisp bitter and fruity, slightly grassy, hoppy, hints of gooseberry, biscuity, pale malty background; a touch of moss, weed and coconut in the finish.

330ml bottle from Beer Merchants. Pours murky yellow with the thinnest whisp of a head. Aroma is good creamy lemon, sweaty. Taste is vibrant Nelson Sauvin, dank, musky flavours with some dill and coconut. Nice.

Almost clear gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry. Good fine carbonation. Smooth malts, mildly sweet. Mild hop skunk introduces good gooseberry - grape Nelson. Dry floralness before a light semi dry grapey finish. Nice one.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from Clapton Craft, Hackney. Pours clear, pale yellow with a creamy, white head. Wow, the Nelson character in this is incredible, ditto the Motueka. The nose has tons of that classic ’pissy’ scent I associate with the Nelson hop, along with melon, tangerine, and lemon, mellow pine and pale bread. Lightly sweet with the perfect amount of pale, bready sugars to support the beautifully layered onslaught of Nelson Sauvin hops. Plenty more cat pee, ripening Meyer lemons, grapefruit, peach, nectarine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp and lightly resinous on the finish, with lip-smacking hop intensity, lots of more urine, melon, citrus fruits, pale malts, very slight cleansing minerality. This one is a stunner all around. And at sub-5%, it’s all the more impressive to have such depth of character. Outstanding.
