Draft taproom. Pours hazy gold with a soft offwhite head. Aroma is pine, citrus peel, light resin. Flavor is floral hops, orange peel, grapefruit, toasted malt. Good flavor - Decent but not standing out.

Can, Legacy. Cloudy, with a thin head. This has a powerful guava and mango aroma, but probably just from hops. The malts are thin, barely holding up the rich hop character. Moderate bitterness but apparent bitterness is higher because there's not much residual sugar. The hops - so expressive in the dry hop - are good but not quite so bright, bringing more of a pear/gooseberry Nelson thing. Good beer, I do like it, but I feel like they left some upside on the table with the high level of attenuation.

Can: Poured a semi-hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of floral tropical notes with some light sauvignon blanc notes is enjoyable. Taste is also enjoyable with notes of tropical fruits, huge citrusy floral undertones and light wine notes. Body is almost full with good carbonation. Very well brewed with good drinkability but I was expecting a little bit more hops dominance.

1 pint from MBC, canned 05 Nov 2018. Amber, medium hazy body, with a medium, fluffy, off-white head. Aroma of passion fruit, grapefruit, resin, pine, lychee, mango, melon, grapes. Tastes similar, with more juicy tropical fruits and Nelson hops. Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a lively carbonation. Finishes bitter, dry, piney, earthy, zesty, citric, a bit juicy, with lingering tropical fruits. Really tasty! Very fresh, with diverse fruits, but also crisp, with lovely resinous notes. Drinks very fresh and balanced, with just enough malt body. Beautiful, characterful IPA. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 4 / 17
