Slight haze, pale amber, thin head. Tart, some acetone, woody, this one is odd. More phenolic than I would have expected. Decent but slightly off.

Can. Pours a clear straw yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has a nice straw and hay combination with a light touch of grass underlying. Flavor has lots of hay with some slightly earthy straw and lemon grass supporting.

Grass and cereal nose. Crystal clear amber, medium head. Slightly candied violet, grass. Medium body, easy carbonation. Fantastic balance, very well crafted. Poundable, something I've been missing from modern IPAs.

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Foggy golden pour, overly abundant stiff white foamy head. Bready aroma, crackers, biscuity. Taste is pale malts, sweet, French bread, sourdough . Velvety feel with just a snap of bitterness at the finish. All high marks from me.

Canned 6/25/24, drunk 8/26/24. Mildly hazy (sat cold for quite a while). Brass-bronze-copper. Medium-sized, white head. Juicy, spicy, fruity. Wow is there a watermelon-like element here? Whatever the case, it's tropical, very fruity, very soft and very aromatic. More bitter in the flavor, or maybe just really spicy? Not completely NEIPA-zone, but has the soft texture of that, with a bit more spice and bitterness. Very juicy, very tropical with white grape and earth and mineral lingering. Really nicely balanced stuff with excellent mega-fruity tropical notes from the Mo and tons of spice, mineral and white grape from the Nelson.

Pours gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Lemon joy and coriander aromas. Crisp with sweet coriander and blood orange upfront turning to dusty lemon joy in the dry, lasting fnish.
