Brewery draught, 7/1/23. This was hazy and the Nelson pale ale was crystal clear. Blonde-brass. Small, white head. Really classic, Dupontish nose with a ton of mineral, light sulfur and excellent black pepper. Low clove/banana/bubble gum, as it should be. Clean and very well-expressed. Soft, though with a good graininess with rustic biscuit and light lemony acidity. Black pepper, mineral, sweat...just an all around solidly fermented saison.
