Hops: Nelson Sauvin Cryo, Citra (hand-selected), and Riwaka.
Featuring EXP666, an experimental brewing yeast strain developed through a collaboration between Escarpment Laboratories (Canada), White Labs (USA & Denmark) and Lallemand Brewing (Canada).
Bright yellow in the glass with aromas of fresh lime, hints of peach, melon and a delicate floral note reminiscent of rosewater.
On the palate, the mouthfeel is light and balanced, with flavors of grape juice and carrying gentle citrus tones that lean more toward orange and mandarin juice rather than sharp zest. It drinks smoothly and effortlessly, with a balanced profile.
The finish is soft and lightly woody with a very restrained bitterness that lets the fruit and citrus notes linger cleanly. As the beer warms up, a lasting note of pine and light diesel from the Riwaka starts making an appearance.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 12/05/2026.
Moderately hazed golden yellow topped with a lasting white head.
Nose is orange pith, grass, pine nibble, ripe melon.
Taste comprises airy malts, grass, pine needle, mandarin, papaya, tangerine.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spiked with juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Tidy IPA if lacking on the promised Nelson.
