Can (8/21/25) from the brewery. Opaque, milky yellow with nice sparkle, thin head with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong cooking herbs over citrus and white grape. Taste is strong herb, malt, yeast over mild citrus and white grape. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and dry, yeasty finish. A Fidens IPA to be sure. Yearning for more grape-y Nelson.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is bold citrus, mild white grape. Flavor follows with a mild nuance of subtle herbs in the finish. Very soft bitterness and balances the fruit extremely well. Smooth creamy mouthfeel. Really nice.

Spotty off white head & creamy collar on a thick milky golden coloured body.
Dank, citrus peel & lime aroma.
Mango, pulped fruit, pineapple, lime & dank hop tastes with a fruity exotic fruited aroma.
Classy.

Inkabb csak osszhatas alapjan ertekelem az adott sort, meg hogy mennyire kerek a sztori. Na, ez kurva kerek egy tortenet volt. Intenziv, testes, nem tul edes, minden a helyen.

Panda thanks to Wingman. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, a light dry creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine. A mildly tangy but fairly rich citrus with a decent flash of tropical fruits. Tangy bitterish citric peel. A mild Nelson wine thing. Fairly dry and slightly bitter finish. Tidy. A tad dry for me, tangy to. Glad to try this brewer again, Cheers Dave, but nothing here that makes me want to pay 25% extra on the latest US imports, compared to the likes of Hop Butcher, District 96, Equilibrium etc.

Аромат сильный, приемущественно тропический, но с процентом мочи. Цвет желтый, очень мутный по телу, пенка хорошая белая. Вкус вроде начинается хорошо, есть ананас, бананы, цитрусы, а вот на финише прям какая то гнилая состовляющая, прям какашка тухлая с фруктами перемешанная. Не понял что это.
