473mL can. Pours opaque pale yellow with a small white head. Sour cream and onion chips with a ton of hop burn. Flavour is similar, plus a bunch of gritty chalk and putrid orange peels. Fuck me, this is egregious. The hop burn and chalk are unpleasant, plus the hop expression that is there is quite gross.

473mL can, pours an opaque milky yellow with a small white head. I can smell the hepburn from feet away – lots of chalk, allium, stone fruit pith, ugh. Flavour is off-putting, with intense hopburn, an almost sourness to it, chalk soup, and stone fruit pith. Full of hopburn, tartness, and muddiness, with few redeeming features. Not good at all.

Greyish pale yellow colour. Not much head. Pretty opaque. Smells like hop burn. Singes your nose hairs, and that's not a good thing. Maybe onion but really no other hop character. Lowish bitterness, some alcohol. Malts aren't bad, they bring some sweetness. The hop expression, though, is pretty bad. I mean, there's not much of anything you'd want in hops like citrus, fruits, or pine, it's just hop burn. Just not much attention to detail here.

Jan 23, 2025 (7/3/7/3/14=3.4): Poured from 473mL can. Opaque murky blonde with small white head. Chalky hop burn. Needs time to rest. May try to open another can in a couple weeks. On tap was better.
Jan 23, 2025 (8/3/8/4/16=3.9): Poured from the tap @ Slow Hand. Opaque murky blonde gold with small white head. Tropical hops, some pineapple, mild dankness, some hop burn.

175mL pour at the brewery taproom. Pours black with a tan head. Tons of cocoa, lactose, and vanilla on the nose. Flavour has slightly bitter cocoa powder, wafers, vanilla, and lactose. Full-bodied, though erring on the side of being sticky. Quite tasty, though not particularly complex or subtle.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a large white head. Aroma is timid, with gentle tangy hops, a bit of chalk, some light onion. Flavour has tangy hops, onion, and some pithy stone fruits. Not chalky, but still a bit muffled in hop expression; I wish the Nelson came out more. Better than Demo #1, but I'm still not hugely sold.

473mL can, pours a cloudy golden yellow (not quite opaque) with a small white head. Nose has plenty of pithy stone fruits, a touch of dankness, and light chalk. Flavour is juicy but a bit rough, with juicy stone fruits, a touch of hepburn, some citrus, and some onion. Reasonably juicy and decent hop expression for a hazy, despite the onion and light chalk. Not bad.

Can from Slow Hand, Vancouver
Blond colour, maybe pale, certainly clean; medium sized head. Some piney hops in the aroma, but also some yeast products: gas, bread; mild dank/onion too. Dry mouthfeel, good body structure, some crisp element, some white bread favour, some Maillard results here; balanced bitterness, with gentle piney and dank notes.
Flawless, modern, clean; excellent.

16oz @ Ryan's (thx for the beer, man!) shared with Brian. Appearance: hazy golden with a white head. Aroma: daaank, on the car exhausts, juicy, tropical fruits. Taste: along the same lines, juicy, smooth. Overall: pretty good.

Poured from 473mL can (side by side with Demo #2). Hazy golden yellow with small white head. Citrus, feint onion, mild stone fruit. Fairly clean for a hazy. Like a hazy version of GPZ.
