Poured from the tap. Cloudy golden blonde with small white head. Tropical, citrus, touch of tang, and a bit of resin. Decent.

Opaque and with a frothy head. Big hop aroma, dank for sure, green, some tropicals. On the palate, the oats show. It's still fucking green, though. Wow. Okay. I mean, this was released several months ago and it's still this harsh? Bitter, grapefruit, light sweet malts. It's assertive, I'll say that.

Pale hazy gold with a rich white head. Citrus, pith and some dank notes. Bitter and pithy with some citrus peel in the finish.

Nice milky yellow body and some thick creamy foam. Smells of good dank hops, honeydew melon, breadfruit. Taste is nice sweet vegetal, lemon zest, melon. Candied melon lingers, dry yet refreshing. Really nice, well balanced.

Murky blond colour. Fruity aroma, pungent, citrus, some tropical, light weed. There's some good malt element, but also a bit more chalk that I care for; the hopping is definitively bold, there is plenty of hop quality (resinous, piney, citrusy, zesty, white grapes…), but also too strong pith in the finish; without the pithy bitterness, this would be wonderful.
It's rough, but enjoyable and interesting.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a medium white head. Aroma brings out lots of the Nelson Sauvin hops, with lots of white wine tanginess, some citrus hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is full of tangy hops, citrus notes, and crisp biscuity malt. Tangy, white wine grape-like, and not too chalky despite the haziness. Really love the Nelson. Very good.
