Can via the brewery. It pours cloudy bright yellow - gold with a decent white head. The aroma is fresh and vibrant, touch green, weedy, dank, fresh pine, some green fruits, light melon, tangy citrus, orange marmalade, pomelo, apricot and brioche action. The taste is firmly dry, pleasing bitterness which lingers, farmhouse bread loaf, vibrant greenness, dank, weedy, bong rips, hint of mint in there, pine needles, hint of spice, resin, pithy, zesty, orange peel, tangerine, marmalade, touch of pomelo, apricot, farmhouse bread and orange blossom with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, massaging carbonation. Exceptional. Fresh, bright, green and fruity. Flavourful and exquisite balance. Love it.

Can (6/22/21) pour. It's a cloudy pale yellow with nice sparkle, finger-plus width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice spotty lacing. Aroma is strong grape, melon. Taste is strong white grape, biscuit backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste with yeast. Overall, strong aroma and flavor but not terribly complex and maybe didn't get everything out of the hop.

Tasting at Salesforce, can, simply called "Nelson"
Murky pale blond colour. Wow, that's a pungent Nelson aroma as I haven't had in a long time. Crisp mouthfeel, a bit chalky, but with excellent hop expression.
Excellent.

Can. Pale and hazy. Thin head. Toasty aroma, with a big nelson aroma, and some melon. On the aroma, it has a nice nelson sauvin taste, sweet pale malt, the usual excellent malt character from this brewery. Good balance. Solid brew, with a nice bit of bitterness to lend balance.
