Proper DIPA: Nelson is everything you'd hope it to be it takes the downright sticky sweet, chewy, soft body of our Proper DIPAs and adds a touch of class with notes of Gooseberry, White grape and a huge dank aroma to remind you what you're drinking

440ml can from who knows where. Poured a hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, orange tangerine citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a fresh, smooth, grassy, tart jammy orange, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Awesome.

440ml can. Hazy, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with minimally late awakening, small to average, thick, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Fruity, slightly dank, hoppy aroma, oaty and wheaty malty background, notes of green fruit, gooseberry, white grapes, a touch of kiwi fruit, hints of weed, a touch of resin. Taste is fruity, dank, resinous and slightly grassy hoppy, oaty and wheaty malty basis with some residual sweetness, notes of green fruit, hints of grass, unspecific, condensed fruitiness. Creamy to mushy, oily texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, mildly prickly carbonation. Very homogeneous, well balanced, thick and creamy, immensely drinkable - very good.

440ml can. Murky golden, white head. Aroma of sweet grape, melon, papaya. Taste is quite sweet, papaya, melon, grape, mild white wine and gooseberry, low bitterness. Medium bodied, smooth. Really great as usual but considering this is a fave hop of mine I'm surprised this is a weaker one of the series.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours murky orange-gold with a creamy, white crown. Medium sweet flavour with massive tropical fruit vibes, papaya, mango, tanagerine, melon, mellow bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Tropical fruit purée finish, a whisper of piney bitterness, a little citrus rind. Outstanding sauce.
