I'm Phantastic Mr Nelson. A Modern NZ IPA bursting with Passionfruit, Gooseberry, and White Grape. Thiol-driven tropical intensity layered over soft haze, bright citrus lift and a crisp, dangerously drinkable finish.

Can from Hop Shop Aberdeen. Hazy golden body with a white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange and grass. Flavour of orange and white grape. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Itβs great to see a new release from this excellent and consistent brewery. I love the Cromarty classics but I wish they would have more one-off releases.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - cloudy yellow with a neat, foamy snow white head.
Nose - floral, lemon curd, gorse, custard and herbs.
Taste - lemon, pineapple and bitter herb.
Palate - close to medium bodied, creamy middle and bitter finsih.
Overall - I'm gonna say it looks like a NEIPA but drinks closer to West Coast.

Can from Marshalls Farm Shop, Aberdeenshire. It pours lightly hazy pale gold with a fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, crunchy green fruits, melon, kiwi, gooseberry, grass and hay. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, kick of bitterness, green, prickly pine, peppery spice, grassy, pithy citrus, bitter grapefruit peel, white grape skin and slightly chalky. Finish is firmly dry. Average body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Decent, but not quite as expressive and bright as I would have expected from Cromarty. Not bad.
