Nelson is a littl lighter than I'd like here, and I'm a Nelson fanboy. Lots of green onion and only a little of the grapefruit vibe I love with Nelson beers. Hop tang finish. Tap at Oscars West.

16 oz can from John, thanks friend, 4/4/22. I was not expecting a half can of fruit to pour out of the can and into the glass around the 11 of 16 oz mark, but here we are. This one is pretty ugly in the glass. Orange, with floaties on floaties. Some of the floaties even have their own floaties. Anyway, as for the beer beyond it's appearance it's not bad. Stone fruit and milk sugar. Vanilla. On the sweet side. Decent mouthfeel. Solid beer.

Can from Americanbeer.eu. Murky chalky yellow body, some off-white head. Citric and lychee, pungent aroma, some marmalade. Nice! Lean taste, a bit subdued, citric, lean dryish, softish, some white grape somehow. Again, crushable, clean, the hop notes aren't thaaat up-front, just lightly minerally and lightly earthy in the very finish. Good, not worth the price I paid this time (around 12-12.5€) but hey, a rarity and technically a good beer, so yay.

Ridiculously hazy orange and raw honey coloured body with a very large three to four centimetre tall very soapy tan head that fades very quickly but leaves a very ugly lace on the sides. Aroma of alcohol, grass, resin, orange juice, light peaches, lactose and a heavy bite of curacao and candy sweetness. Medium to Full-bodied; Ultra rich malty, lactosey and creamy notes dominate with a mouth-watering peppery and yeast kick that has a lot of resinous and hop bite, especially at the end, but the citrus fruits and orange juice are strongest here. Aftertaste shows a lot of range with the hop complexity sitting atop the rich malts, creaminess with lactose and full-flavoured with the candy and slight dryness on the end. Overall, a pretty nice almost Imperial IPA with a lot of lactose and creamy notes, a super rich bite from the malts, but nice hop complexity and pungent sugars. Great to try very fresh, while the peach isn't here at all, the cream definitely is, and it works well! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Total Wine in Arlington (Ballston), Virginia on 26-February-2021 for US$5,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-March-2021.

Can from Livonia Liquor. Pours a hazy mango flesh color with a finger of foam that dissipates. Smarties candy, white grape and starfruit aromas. More of the same on the palate with white grapefruit and more white grape notes. Tropical fruit on the finish with lingering piney and pithy bitterness.
