Bottle: Poured a clear bright yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry hoppy notes with light Sauvignon notes is interesting. Taste is also a mix of light residual sugar notes with some dry Sauvignon notes and floral undertones. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but I thought the hops could have been even more upfront.

*Collaboration with La Barberie

Really see-through light straw, looks almost like a Pilsner.

Nice floral notes in the nose with a little bit of tropical fruits aromas. Obviously since it's a SMASH beer you only smell the Nelson Sauvin, which in itself is note that bad, but I feel like there's not much smell in this particular beer.

Pleasantly surprised with the mouth. From the smell I figured it wouldn't taste that much, but when you taste it there's really lots of flavor. Really nice bitterness that is not overpowering with a really good malt (unknown malt though) flavor and the Nelson Sauvin brings really good floral notes.

Nice mouth feel and nice floral finish.

While I haven't had the chance to try a lot of them I feel like it's one of the best SMASH beer I've tasted.
