Sweetish, creamy and dankish with loads of vinous grapey Nelson hoppiness, tropical fruits, citrus and grapefruit, hints of pine and grass. Quite intensely hoppy but a bit unbalanced

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small and fairly short lived pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a reasonable creamy sweetness but there is a fair amount of hop skunk to do battle with here, along with mild hop spice. Soft pine into a decent winey gooseberry. Almost as good as it gets these days. More hop spice on the smooth and semi dry finish. If the skunk could be dialled down to let the unique NS flavours shine a bit more, this would be a top notch brew. But given the faded intensity of NS these days, that maybe an impossible ask.

500ml can. Murky yellow, white head. Aroma is vinous, white wine, grape, gooseberry and some earthy notes. Taste is very vinous, white wine, grape, very dank, gooseberry, some citrus, herbal. Full bodied, soft, smooth. As good as this is the Citra one seems unbeatable right now.
