Draught at Canary Square, 9/19/21.
Deep maize-bronze, light haziness, but not excessive. Small, white head shows moderate retention.
Nose is soft and mineral-like with a pleasant yeast and hop-derived fruitiness that is free from bubble gum. Hops are actually pretty understated, especially for a DIPA, but still enjoyable, lending passion fruit, dank, green notes, yellow and/or tropical fruits and very light acidity. Malts add light cracker and hints of dough, seemingly nicely attenuated and no alcohol or flaw is noted.
Juicy, though not excessively so, in the mouth, with soft, malty textures and good attenuation. Cracker/biscuit/dough with light honey and tons of light tropical fruit and deeper mineral and other complex hop flavors abound. Good heft to it without being sluggish or too full and just an all-around well-executed, solid, if not flashy, DIPA. Not sure why NEIPAs have departed so drastically, for the worse a majority of the time, from the original Vermont style IPAs.

16oz can. Quite an awesome session IPA. None of the thin, watery, seltzery feel. Really nice Mosaic tone, solid malt backdrop, not too heavy but not too thin. Really just nails it. Great beer, great balance.

16oz can. 8 days after canning. I guess I was expecting another hazy. This is more of a classical IIPA, a lot of sweetness. Pretty nice hop tone, but the Nelson isn't really that definitively pronounced. A tasty IIPA for sure, but perhaps not really commanding the 18 dollars it cost for a 4pack. Juicy, fresh. OK.
