Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin bodied pale malts provide a modest but an adequate sweetness. Nelson Bliss. Third time of trying if my dodgy old memory serves. Consistent. Has the Gooseberry tangy tartness into light bright winey grape. Touch of rounded citrus underneath. Light crisp semi dry finish. This seems to be a good way of getting the these aspects from Nelson. From classic Nelson, still missing the resinous white port vibe but, it's great to have Nelson, so far, consistently punchy in this form.

Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. A light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine. An eclectic hop array. Floral white winey grape. Modest stone fruits. Bit of soapy element here and, it rather stunts this brew. Crisp finish. File under 'nearly'.

Sample, thanks fonefan! Very dark brown, small sized beige head. Treacle, gingerbread and caramel up front. Very sweet with near full body and rounded, viscous mouthfeel. Spruce, ginger, syrup and treacle. Artificial and rather cloying, but not full blown pastry horror.
