Yodel - Kohia Nelson

Canned 7/21/26, drunk 8/6/26.
Juicy, fruity, tropical with kumquat, sweet lime and ripe peach. Not a huge Kohia Nelson/Phantasm guy, but this doesn't smell like punchy passionfruit and only smells just slightly of white grape at all. Soft, rich, succulent, honey-like malt easily balances the lower acidity. Getting some funk/mineral as it warms/breathes. No alcohol noted.
Bitter/acidic with a piney Nelson edge to it, initially. Soft malts help balance and it's quite dry overall, leading to unripe tropical fruit skin on the finish. Not much passionfruit from the Kohia, nor the white grape-like character of Nelson, but more of an acidic, weird tropical fruit rind character. I like the bitterness here, but with the grapey acidity, it gets a bit much on the finish. Not quite enough room for funk, more vibrant tropical notes, or the better intricacies of Nelson. All that said, it's supple, dry, flavorful and nicely bitter in a style that often lacks enough bitterness, so it's perfectly competent, just not a standout in this incredible series.
