Tap. Pours hazy butterscotch with a small white head and some lacing. Aroma is very fruity - mango, citrus, canaloupe. Flavor has little sweetness, medium bitterness with a zesty component as well - lemon peel? Medium body, low carbonation overall. Nice beer, but the aroma is the high point.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is all Nelson Sauvin hops, which I love. Some cracker in the background to help balance the hops. The hops are vinous with melon, tropical fruit and a hint of grape. Pours a cloudy pale yellow gold with a thin white head that recedes to the edges. Moderate lacing and small legs. Flavor is light cracker and then all Nelson hops. Melon, white grapes and tropical fruit with an assertive but clean bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency with low alcohol warmth. Overall I really like this beer. It shows simplicity is best. The hop has a lot of character and this really lets the hop shine with a nice base malt character. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
