Can from Beer Republic. Hazy ochre, stable, small, foamy, white head. Aroma of ripe passion fruit, peach, orange peel, white grape, kiwi, dough, shallot, cheese, gin. Taste has sweet melon, grape & mandarin over a bitter middle of orange peel, dank cheese & spicy shallot, some sourish passion fruit in a doughy malt body. Floral & peppery hops in the finish, lingering onion but juicy citrus too, and warming gin-like alcohol. Medium body, fluffy texture, soft carbonation. Just a touch of bitter removed from greatness but very good.

Can at home shared with Laura. A bit hazy yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are lightly malts, tropical fruit, dank, sweet. Decent body and carbonation. Alright.

Opaque, quite pale, thin head. The kiwi hop is a big vague on the aroma, but brighter on the palate, even while battling strong alcohol. That's a solid nelson profile, with a bit of lychee in there for fun. The malt is there, and it definitely tastes stronger than it is, which isn't really in line with the principles of good balance for me.

Aromas and flavors are mainly citrus with some cereal. On the sweet side with a soft mouth. A bit chewy too. Not bad.

Hazy bright orange body, thick off-white head. Nose sour-tangy tropical fruit including papaya. Body sour-tart, fruity, with some earthy mineraly bitterness. Mostly sour orange pulp initially, with some herbal tea-like elements after many sips. Something seems missing.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pour a hazy, glowing mikan orange color with a finger of white foam that lingers. Big Nelson focused nose with muscat, pear and light catpiss aromas. A touch of mineral and grape leaf as it warms. Tropical fruit on the palate with starfruit and white grapefruit wrapped in dank. Light pithy bitterness and citrus zest on the finish. Solid.

750ml bottle thanks to Steve. Pours out a hazy orange color topped with a white head. Nose is citrus orange juice sweetness hops. Taste is more of the tropical fruit notes and a nice citrus.
