(473ml can from the BG18e brewpub) Pours pretty hazy dull gold with a nice head of white froth and good lace. Aroma and flavour are both driven by leafy 'green' hops, but not oniony, more of a menthol/eucalyptus fresh peppery aromatic profile like Nelson can sometimes get; this is backed by candied grapefruit, soft pit fruit and rounded bready malt with a smooth fruity ester profile. Finish is pretty dry and dominated by the fresh leafy eucalyptus vibe that contributes light bitterness but a real tingle. Quite light bodied for style but with nice soft creamy carbonation and no alcohol. Solid brew even though the hop profile was a bit unexpected for me, Citra taking a bit of a back seat but not totally unlike some NS-dominant beers. Interested to see more Nano Cinco collabs.
