Can. Murky brownish gold with a cm of white head that doesn't last. 3- Crude aroma with grass and some feral herbs, unripe berries, crackers. Sweeter in taste and some more pleasant fruity notes - riper berries, grapes - come through along with some bread. Lowish bitterness, hop burn is highish but not so high as to make it unpleasant.

From a 440ml can on 25/12/2020 (shared with Butz). Pours a slightly hazy light golden with a small head. Has a modest fruity nose. In the mouth, it begins with some low to medium sweet tropical and citrus fruit, with some mild and grassy notes. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nelson Sauvin is probably my fave hop so I was hoping this would be much better than the awful Sabro version I had the day before. This is certainly better, with only a hint of the dreaded hop burn making an appearance, but it's ultimately dull and uninspiring. Based on my experience to date, I'm not keen to complete the 30-G series (Citra and Cashmere).
