Poured from a 32 oz crowler. Aroma is very hop forward with lots of gooseberry, melon, tangerine, passion fruit and resin. Light cracker malt and oats notes. Pours a very hazy dull, dirty straw color with a medium large, thick, pillowy, frothy white head that slowly, but steadily recedes to a small film that lingers in clumps on the edges. Moderately high lacing and no legs. Flavor has a light sweetness with light oat and cracker malt notes. Low bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes of gooseberry, melon, tangerine and resin. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice pale ale. The malt profile is super light which really allows the nelson hops to shine. A touch watery and could perhaps use just a bit more malt.
