Can (3/26/25) from the brewery. Opaque, milky yellow with nice sparkle, thin cap of head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong arm-pit/cooking herb, vague hint of background fruit. Taste follows aroma re: strong herb but there's tropical fruit, grapefruit and honey malt backdrop as well. Frothy texture, average carbonation and dry finish as taste with mild lingering bitterness. Faint late alcohol warmth. The herbal Nelson vs. the white grape Nelson (sigh) but at least they embraced it whole hog. Strong with some interesting complexity in the flavor. Strangely light and frothy.

16 oz can traded by tfontana. Aroma is mild marijuana and white grape. In the flavor White grape is secondary to all of this marijuana. Can you say bong juice? I don’t smoke weed. This takes boderline bong water.

Canned 3/28, drunk 5/6/25, compliments of tfontana. Thanks, Tom!
Bright, flaxen-maize-lemon. Big, off-white head. Near-turbid.
Nose is herbsceously-spicy hop with dainty, honey-like malts and lots of lemongrass and more or citrus. Light mineral, lots of pepper, light white grape. Juicy. Rich. No flaw.
Soft, succulent, pillowy body with excellent malt depth and attenuation. Super spicy with plentiful herb and pepper. Insane balance of malt and hop with lingering juice and herb. I'm sure most will say it's too herbal, and to some extent, that's true. But this is a bit less herbal away from being damned near perefect. The texture and balance is stunning.

Can at home from J and B Craft Drinks, Amsterdam, 3rd November 24. Pours a milky hazy yellow orange, looks the bomb. Aroma is dank, skunky, gooseberries, orange and citrus, tropical fruits. Taste is dank, grapes, skunk, weedy, citrus and grapes, with spiced gooseberries, medium bitter and dank earthy finish. Great DIPA

Pours a hazy, bright lemon yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is rather muted, but contains notes of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor more pronounced, with citrus and tropical fruit and a touch of white wine spice. Soft mouthfeel. Moderate hop bitterness in the finish.
