Our biggest, boldest IPA to date. Nelson Sauvin is the star of the show here with Strata playing the supporting role. Smooth, rich and everything great about Nelson

Can. Very hazy orange beer, good bubbly pale cream colour head. Pleasant nose of piney tinned tropical fruits. Palate is light, mildly dry and has good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin malts, but just about sweet enough. Hops bring crisp pine and light bright orange. These are quickly matched and the subsumed by savory hop skunk and a little hop spice. Trace of ripe mango. Crisp finish. Fully flavoured IPA, but but not singing for me, not quite enough hop brightness.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - hazy golden orange, off white head. Nose - orange, apricot, bread and resin spice. Taste - orange and bready. Hop resin spice again. Palate - light bodied, dry and quite bitter finish. Overall - decent, a bit bitter for the style.
