Nom Nom Nelson
Sudwerk Brewing Company

16oz can. Poured out a slightly cloudy, golden orange color with a small, fluffy, white head of foam. It smelled of citrus, floral notes and toasted caramel. Sweet tropical fruitiness with a sharp bitterness and toasted caramel finish.

Golden and slightly hazy with no carbonation and three fingers of off white, slightly yellow tinged head.

Smells of Nelson hops, gravel rocky earth, and a hint of fruity quality.

The taste follows the nose but is more intense and moderately sweet.

Medium, slightly syrupy body with little carbonation.

I got this in Redding California today and I’m drinking it here on September f1st, 2019.

 

Pours a rich bright golden yellow with a super thick and fluffy head. Although the label calls it 'a hazy juicy IPL' the beer is almost crystal clear minus a slight chill haze
Smell is amazingly bright with strong hints of kiwi and white grape as well as melon and tangerine. Explodes out of the can as soon as it is opened.
Taste falls a little flat on the expectation built up by the aroma. Mellon dominates complimented by overripe kiwi and a bit of citrus peel. Nice flavors and becomes increasingly pleasant with each sip.
Mouthfeel is alright, a little too much body and a bit syrupy. Lacking a nice crisp finish, could definitely see this one building up on the palate after more than one.
Overall this is a nice beer, not the best in the style from sudwerk but a really wonderful aroma and a unique flavor that will definitely hit that sweet spot for some nelson fans. There seems to be a bit more of the melon hop on the flavor and the nelson on the aroma but both are present and play well together.

No time for a full review, but will circle back. My initial impressions are whoa, nose a bit mute, but plenty of Nelson goodness on the taste! Gorgeous appearance, thicker mouthfeel.
