Cloudy and pale. Very fruity passionfruit nose, honeyish - lightly floral. Soft and sweet. Bit too much yeast up front but the beautiful fruits, sugary malts and subtle bugs are lovely. Not flawless, but this should develop well.

Cloudy/murky blond color. Mild bready aroma. Not too dry, with easy malt profile, mild acidity, and nice Nelson Sauvin presence. Very nice.

Muddy blond color with a possible orange shade, compact head. The aroma is fresh and pungent, comes through as yuzu. Good body (not thin); the mouthfeel is reasonably dry; very light malt crispness, crackers; the acidity is mild, controlled; not the typical Nelson Sauvin footprint, more citrus fruit than tropical, yuzu, lemon peel, cedar; correct bitterness, leading to some ending astringency.
Very good; refreshing; would even be better if it can get a cleaner flavor.

On tap at Brassneck, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out some funky herbl notes, with tangy hops, and potent barnyard. Flavour is very similar, bringing out the tangy hops, exquisite farmhouse notes, barnyard funk, and somewhat of a herbal quality. Very complex in all respects. Finishes funky and tangy, with considerable hop punch. Excellent stuff - a successful experiment.
