Pours a hazy, orange-gold, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit, a touch of stone fruit. Flavors follow, with a lingering Juicy Fruit gum note. Soft mouthfeel. Very mild hop bitterness in the finish.

Can pour from Andover Classic Wines. Cloudy, dark yellow with light sparkle, large head with excellent retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong grape, florals over citrus. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth texture, average carbonation and dry finish as taste. Nice. Only slightly less good than The Moon.

Can pour from Andover Classic Wines. Opaque orange juice with nice sparkle, foamy head with excellent retention and decent lacing. Aroma is very strong grape, berries, floral over citrus. Taste mirrors aroma with late bread. Smooth, creamy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. The best Nelson I've had in quite some time.

16 oz can. Aroma is very mild tangerine peel with bread like malt. Flavor is fruit character with very little pine and or resin notes. Moderate bread malt keeps the hops honest and adds a proper amount of balance. Highly drinkable for me!

Can pour from Redstone Liquors, Stoneham. Opaque orange juice with some dark floaties, tons of sparkle, thin head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong orange, citrus, tropical fruit. Taste follows aroma with addition of background vague herb and malt. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and mostly malty finish. Likely a bit old at this point but doesn’t seem to suffer.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. TY Tom! Aroma shows peach, and tropical fruit notes. Flavor is lightly peach-ish, pineapple- ish, mango-ish. Mild pils malt backbone. Tiniest hint of herb in the finish Mouthfeel is soft and delicate. A great amount of juice character. Top notch!

16 oz can. Aroma has pine hops with a hint of citrus and caramel. The malts stick out more in the flavor. Caramel sweetness is upfront with the soft hops of pine and citrus in the background. Pine / resin lingering bitterness. Overall, not sure why the West Coast style is showing up so much lately. Well made but not my style.

Can pour from Julio's Liquors (on the discount shelf, likely some age to it). Cloudy orange-yellow with tons of sparkle, large head (4 fingers!--kind of annoying) with excellent retention and tons of splotchy lacing. Aroma is strong lemon Starburst, milder grapefruit, light pine and honey malts. Taste is more pine- and malt-forward, later floral/fruit and bread. Smooth texture, creamy foam, soft carbonation, medium body, crisp finish with mild lingering bitterness. Haven't had much, if any, Elani so it is probably this that makes this a smidge different. Enjoyable.
