On tap at Four Winds Beach House, pours a hazy bright orange with a medium white head. Aroma has that characteristic English bready malt character dialed in right. Flavour follows, with a dry, English bready malt character permeating. Low on hops, yet there's still nice bitterness. Dry, drinkable and smooth. Good for what it is.

On tap at Four Winds Beach House, pours a mostly clear blonde with a sma white head. Aroma is lightly estery, with some rustic saison yeast and a hint of white grape. Flavour is much drier than expected, with dry bready malt, mineraly notes, and rustic saison yeast. Grainy, mineraly finish. Pretty solid for a small saison.

On tap at Four Winds Beach House, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has a nice spicy Saaz character for such a small beer, with crisp crackery malt and a touch of straw. Flavour is very biting and bitter, with quite an intense spicy Saaz character, intense bitterness, and a crisp crackery malt base. For 3.2%, that packs some flavour and bitterness. Very well-hopped. This is excellent.

16oz in Central Park shared with wife and George. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: juicy, tropical fruits, a bit dank. Taste: along the same lines, quite dank. Overall: pretty good.

473mL can, pours a hazy bright golden orange with a medium white head. Aroma is still dominated by the yogurty lacto that regular Nectarous is sadly dominated by, with maybe a touch of the strawberry. Flavour has plenty of strawberry and vanilla upfront in a clumsy mix, with a boatload of yogurt supporting this. There's light acidity on the finish. Even though I do get the adjuncts, this is still mostly a yogurt bomb. Nonsensical stuff.

473mL can, pours a cloudy yellow with a small white head -- damn the unclear marketing not clearly calling this a hazy -- I would've avoided it. Aroma has some tangy tropical fruits, not too much chalk, a touch of dankness, and light citrus. Flavour has big tropical fruits, stone fruits, some dankness, a little citrus tang, and too much of a starchy/chalky character (I guess from the oats) typical of a hazy, but better than most. Reasonably balanced, with a tropical, lightly bitter, starchy finish. It's alright for a hazy.

473 ml can.pours a pinkish gold with moderate head. Aromas of gooseberries, nectarines, grapes, a bit of strawberries and sharp wheaty malts. Flavors of gooseberries, sweetened strawberries and wheat. I think the vannila muted the strawberries and puts the flavors at odds with the nectarous base.

Pinkish with a slight haze. Medium head. Galaxy-forward Nectarous aroma and taste, the strawberry being mellow, lending accent. The vanilla is even more restrained, so I don’t dislike this the way I expected to.
