This beer is a tribute to our chief security officer, belly rub lover and all around food connoisseur, Mr. Wellington Nelson. He has been named after two of our favorite cities in New Zealand where the Nelson Sauvin hop featured in this beer was grown. It's best consumed with a round of ChuckIt! in the fields of Vermont.

16oz can pours a neon orange, ring of white head. Nose has orange juice, followed by some dank notes, wet grass and weed mostly, stinky over ripe tropicals lurking. Flavor falls off a bit, dankness is still there but the citrus is faded, mango and guava now. Finishes with some bitterness but a bit thin.

Can pour in trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Appearance is hazy dark yellow with fine particulates, nice sparkle, finger-width foamy off-white head with decent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is dominant grapes/raisin and white wine, milder herb. Taste follows the aroma but the grape/herbal balance is about even with cracker malt backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with frothy texture--an airy foam like the space between molecules--average-to-lively carbonation and strong finish as taste with lingering yeasty, crackery dry, slightly bitter finish. Overall,

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention turns soapy as it recedes to coat surface. Sweet citrus and mango aromas. Soft with musty tropical fruit skin, mango and lychee front to back.

Canned on 1-15-20. Aroma is slight herbal, and bolder citrus. Flavor of citrus with grass carries over to the finish. Also a mild hay nuance. Medium body, extremely easy to drink. Real nice.
