Citra + Nelson Sauvin = YES. Why haven't we made this IPA before? Idiocy.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Cloudy amber, mid sized head. Intense aroma of grapes and tangerine. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with lots of grapes and kiwifruit. Lightly bitter finish.

Thanks fonefan! Hazy golden colour with a small white foamy head. Aroma is floral, some fruity, biscuity and bready tones with mild grapefruity and citrusy tones too. Flavour is citrus, some mild fruity and a bit bready, malty and some biscuity tones to it. Strange NEIPA, but yes, still rather low on the bitterness, though malts shine through surprisingly much. Not a bad thing though. Differs it out from the masses.

Can. Generic citrus, orange and grapefruit, and pine cones dominates. Gentle maltiness and a bit too gentle bitterness. Anyway, pleasant indeed, quenching and easy drinkable. 747415 260426

440ml can from Benny’s Place, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, herbal, light citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light herbal, stone fruits, melon, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Can picked up from Kihoskh and drunk at home 15/08/2024 Gooseberry and white grape, tangerine and mango, melon, light hop spice, creamy sweet malts, light bitter hoppy finish. Good stuff but not up there with Vedants best for me.

Solid showcase of hops. Especially the Nelson. They know what they’re doing putting it together. Mikkeller ams

440ml can bought at Vinmonopolet Aker Brygge, Shared with Finn. Has got Rip Tom Verlaine 1949-2023 written on the can. Creamy, pearl white head, cloudy yellowish body, crocheted lacing. Peachy nose, grassy, promising. Fresh hop fruity taste with impacts of pineapple, lemon, and peaches on a wheat fruity backbone. Smooth hop fruity finish. Medium bodied. Pretty decent. (Tromsø, 08.06.2023).
