A hazy IPA highlighting a single hop variety, Nelson Sauvin. Vibes of papaya, gooseberry, fruity white wine, and a little dankness.

Can. Pours a cloudy yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has citrus and melon with some tropical fruits and a bit of sweet grains supporting. Flavor combines melon and mango with growing citrus and a sweet grain backbone.

22/II/26 - 1Pt. can from an online shop, shared @ home, BB: n/a, canned: V7/25, B.K., 09:43:32 (2026-259)
Cloudy beige beer, nice thick and creamy white head, fluffy, rocky, pretty stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very dank, a bit oxidized, honey, malty, fruity, some marijuana, diesel, decent. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: bitter start, honey, floral, a bit malty, more oxidative notes, a bit sweet. Aftertaste: honey, orange peel, malty, bitter, a little chemical, resinous hops, not great.

On tap at Beer Temple, Amsterdam, Netherlands. A hazy golden/orange/yellow coloured pour with a decent off white head on top. Hoppy, grapefruit, orange, passion fruit, tropical fruit taste and aroma. Good stuff as ever from Other Half.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy yellow pour, one finger stiff foamy head. Soft, fruity tropical aroma, mango. Taste marries tropical fruit flavors with zesty citrus and light soapy floral notes. Luscious feel with some minor mouth coating.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Aromas of crushed candy, lupulin powder, white grapefuit, lime and muscat as it warms. Palate is similar and balances notes of sweet, dank and citrus. Finishes with some mineral notes and more of the same. Enjoyable.

Reunion Grafton draught, 1/7/25.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, paler brass-golden. Small, white head.
Fruity yeast, fruity hops, not a ton of mineral or spice, to be honest. Some white grape, lots of cracker, light pine and hints of rich white bread.
Soft but with some cracker. White grape, white berry, light sulfur. Low spice, little/no juice, little/no spice. Not a tour de force of the hop. Sweetness, white bread, whit grape...kind of the lesser desired notes with the more desired notes (big mineral, big juxtaposition of juice and spice, intense, deep tropical fruit, white wine) being pretty minimal.
