Airstream features a brand-new hop from New Zealand called Nectaron, which we flew over in Business Class according to the invoice. Nectaron imparts deep, ripe fruit mostly in the peach and grapefruit realms, at least in this beer. There’s this familiar ’old school’ IPA note on the palate that none of us can really put our finger on, maybe Simcoe hop notes, or, it might be that Nectaron is subtle enough to let a little bit of malt flavour come through (?what?). It also has a very juicy, long finish with a clean bitterness. A fun beer. You know, to enjoy, and have fun with.

473mL can, pours an opaque, dull golden yellow with a medium, frothy white head. Aroma is quite chalky, with dusty, earthy hops, and lots of muddled yeast soup. Flavour is very muddled, with earthy hops, muddled yeast soup, chalk, and some herbal notes. That's really not that pleasant a hop character. And the palate is very milky and muddled. Really quite a poor release here—that's quite a few new hazies lately by Superflux that have totally missed the mark.

Feb 13, 2026 (8/3/8/3/15=3.7): Poured from 473mL can (pkg 12/10/2025). Hazy blonde gold with white head. Tropical hops, lightly juicy, enjoying this a lot more than 5 years ago. Quite nice.
Jan 24, 2021 (7/3/7/3/15=3.5): Poured from 473mL can (sticker says 01/12 pkg date). Cloudy blonde with white head. Mild tropical hops, hint of grapefruit hops, touch of dankness, little bit of yeast. Just okay.

Murky pale blond colour. The aroma is delicate, blend of candied pineapple, orange, with light dank and floral character. The mouthfeel is a bit chalky, maybe a bit drier than usual; the hop has good characteristics, fruity, lightly juicy, but the muddy malt bill doesn't help much; a bit salty too. Ok, now. We'll see how it settles in a few weeks.
