Cloudy to murky blond colour. Nice fruity aroma, touch of tangerine. Dry, a bit chalky in the front, too dry and astringent in the finish.
Not too bad.

Murky pale blond colour with large head. Light yeast character, but overall it's too weak to be interesting. Dry finish.

Bottle at Lush Life. Dark red brown colour with light golden bubbly head. Aroma is sweet maltiness, maybe even smooth and creamy, doughy, not so much hoppiness. Taste is spicy, lots of malt, ginger, nice bitterness, slightly floral and a bit of fruity sweetness too. Quite interesting. Something weird that I can only describe as being like a chai latte with a light chocolate flavour. Very smooth, and pretty nice.

Tap at the Bottle Rocket, Bangkok. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a thin white head. The aroma is grainy malt, earthy, mineral, light herbal, light citrus fruit hop. The flavour is light to moderate bitter, with a light, slightly water, light fruity, dry earthy light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Blond colour, just hazy. It has the typical cat pee smell of Nelson Sauvin, although not as pungent as I was used to 10 years ago; bone dry but not excessively weak; not getting much malt vibe, and the final is a bit short, but at least there is a more than decent hop quality.
It delivers what it promises; it's a good session IPA.

Grassy and some cat pee. Clear pale gold with a decent white head. Bright light cat pee. Easy and light.
