Canned 3/26/24, drunk fresh and then one month old on 4/24/24. Bright, tangerine-and-lemon-golden. Fully hazy with a small, white head that sits at about one centimeter. Tons of fruity ester, maybe even a smidge of bubble gum. Bright, spicy Nelson up front. Not as familiar with the other two hops though I know Rakau can be a bit more assertive and pine-oriented than even some Nelson expressions. Whatever the case, it's all soft and fruity/spicy here with plentiful bright citrus and playful tropical fruits. Clean, no excessive sweetness or resin. Wow, this has improved greatly in one month. Where it was thin, rough and maybe a bit overly bitter/acidic, it's now soft, almost creamy-textured, with just the right amount of maltiness/sweetness. Good attenuation, still ample bitterness and tons of spice, tropical fruit and citrus. I particularly like the excellent bitterness here that keeps this from being soft, flat and flabby in flavor.

Thanks Clark. Notes of citrus zest, papaya, grapeskin. Soft, clean, balanced.

Pours a hazy, chalky-banana color, with smallish head. Aroma is a rather muted combo of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor a bit more pronounced: citrus and tropical fruits, some pine hops, some wood. Moderately soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
