Can pour into nonic pint glass from the brewery. Appearance is opaque, murky yellow/light brown with tons of sparkle at the edges of the glass, some white floaties about, 2-finger width off-white foamy head with good retention and light leggy lacing. Aroma is mild citrus, stronger grape and white wine, hint of onion. Taste is white wine, mild herb and citrus. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation, mild numbing of the lips, mild spiciness, and fairly dry finish as taste. Overall, the Nelson takes this off into a nice direction
