Can from Steve. Hazy yellow, ring of head, light lacing. Aroma is strong orange, lemon, tropical fruit, grapefruit, light herb. Taste is strong grapefruit, lemon, lesser orange, hint of herb, late biscuit, some citrus astringency. Smooth, frothy texture, fairly thin body, finish as taste with late bitterness and yeast. Good complexity for single hop--one of the better treatments of Nectaron I can remember.

16 oz bottle shared by tfontana. Aroma has guava-ish, peach-ish, passion fruit- ish. Flavor is true to the style and has the same fruit as the aroma. This is a single hop that displays a lot of fruit. Nice juice texture and also has very minimal bitterness.

Pint can pours with a crystal clear golden colored body that supports a bright white head of foam. The aroma offers up tangerine, peach, tangy warm clementine and some cantaloupe. The taste begins feeling soft and almost hazy like with minimal hop bitterness. After a few sips some hop bitterness does come to the surface toward the end of the sip. I get basically the same notes as in the nose with tangerine, peach, clementine and some cantaloupe. Pretty nice stuff. I'd prefer it being a tad less soft and sweet overall.

Pint can pours with a slightly hazy gold colored body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up grapefruit, orange, a bit of mango and then a slight sense of the base malt sweetness. The taste delivers grapefruit and orange and then a sense of orange sherbet as well. It might pick up a dash of lime toward the finish creating another interesting facet to the experience. Crusher. Fairly crisp on ending with very little sweetness. Love that.

Pint can pours with a mostly clear gold colored body that supports a nice short lived bright white head of foam. The aroma offers up pineapple and tangerine flowing into firm, yet somehow vague, berry fruitiness. Nice. The taste delivers a fair load of pineapple followed by a nice tangerine to nectarine citrussness. To midway it picks up a facet of spicy bitter hops that are quickly consumed by a feeding frenzy of berry fruity hop flavor and modestly tart bitter hop notes. This is clean enough and stays clear of being too sweet. The tropical / pineapple influence has become tiresome for my tastes. Still. Solid offering.

Undated can drunk 3/2/25.
Clear, bright gold. Small, white head.
Oh, is that Nelson? It's pleasant but not distinctive. No white wine but also no aggressive notes. Some easygoing tropical fruit sweetened by white bread like malts. Not spicy. Didn't even realize it was Nelson.
Clean, fairly malty. Ok depth, ok attenuation. Loose carbonation. Guava and mild pine with a woody bitterness that just barely balances. Certainly no toast or resin. Very, ultra modern interpretation of a WC.

Pint can pours with a clear rutty mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up some malt roastiness some highly toasted bread as well as murmurs of fruity esters. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of roasted malts, toasted bread and mildly sweet dark grape like fruity esters. This comes together nicely. Solid offering.

On tap at Theodore, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma has medium roasted malt and soft earthiness, with even a bit of hoppiness in there. Flavour is dry, with medium roast, some subtle fruitiness in there, and light woody hops. Clean and robust for a porter, with a smooth, clean body. Good stuff.
