Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated fairly quick to leave some light lace
Aroma: white grapes, grassy hops and light berry hops, light biscuity malts
Flavor: bittersweet through the prior noted aromas; finishes bittersweet with a touch of juicy berry to white grape-like tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also some hop assertiveness
Overall: nicely done IPA worthy of returning to.

A solid pure white head on a murky light straw body. The nose is popping with fresh fruit, a touch of pine and pepper. Hoppy but not astringent. Tropical fruit featuring melon, kiwi and pineapple. Some orange and lemon notes, all fresh squeezed. Sweet and understated malt works for me as well

Can from the lcbo. Hazy yellow pour, with a huge white head. Aroma is loaded with hoppy goodness. The Nelson is super sharp and acidic, lots of tight vinous white wine notes with a mix of melon and lemon oil. Mouth feel and carb are spot on. Finish is medium bitter, tangy, spicy finish, herbal and floral, loads of sharp tropical fruit and citrus oils. Incredible stuff!

(Can) Yellow colour, hazy, with frothy off-white head. Fruity, slightly hoppy nose with notes of pineapple, citrus, orange peel, sponge cake, nectarine, passion-fruit and a touch of elderflower. Fruity, slightly hoppy taste with pineapple, citrus peel, white bread, nectarine, passion-fruit, gooseberries, pine needles and a balanced citric/floral bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Rich and tasty, quite harmonious and elegant. Very nice.

Super hazy deep golden coloured body with a relatively thick, three centimetre tall off-white. Aroma of crisp citrus, dry and grassy hops with a strong herbal bite with some light alcohol astringency as well. Medium-bodied; Slightly soapy malt and light hop characteristics up front with a dry herbal, grassy and especially perfumey taste that barely shows any alpha acids, with only a faint dose of the dry and citrusey hops coming through, but the rest is floral and malty. Aftertaste is clean, yet very soapy, malty and soft, especially on the hop side of things with only a little funk coming through and a tiny dash of alcohol, but seemingly much more caster sugar sweetness. Overall, quite underwhelming throughout, but especially in terms of complexity and depth. This is very understated and simplistic - despite it's age (it is a few months old), it still i pretty poor throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 19-April-2019 for US$4,74 sampled at home in Washington on 14-December-2019 for the 14th day of my 2019 Advent Calendar for Christmas.
