Poured from a 16 oz can dated March 19, 2024. Aroma is very dank and fusel-like with lots of cat piss and some gooseberry and passion fruit notes. Light cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a murky, golden orange with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers in big clumps on the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness with light alcohol notes. Hop flavor is more fruity than the aroma with citrus, gooseberry and passion fruit notes. Still quite a bit of dank, fusel, oily resin notes but less than in the aroma. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice DIPA. I love nelson hops, and while I prefer them when they are more fruity like the flavor, I also like the dank, fusel, oily resin notes like in the aroma. This is probably my favorite hop and a great expression of it. Aroma is so dank while the flavor is super fruity. Balanced malt notes, bitterness and alcohol.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy gold with a huge off-white head that tried to lace. Aroma is mixed citrus and melon. Med body. Flavor is mixed citrus and melon, but there indeed is a passing hydrocarbon thing. Not a problem tho. With time notes of white berry, earth and mango can be imagined. Even green guava with effort. Very good flavor into a long finish.
