Appearance: Pours a slightly hazy (~50%), light pale golden color with a strong white head. SRM of 9. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong aromas with dense green grape, tropical aromas and herbal aromas. Melon, berry, tropical with some orange citrus underneath. (
Flavor: Strong flavors of tropical melon, berry with a herbal and orange citrus flavor through the end. Clean.
Feel: Medium bodied. Strong carbonation. Crisp and drinks clean.
Compared to Propagator Citra 9/28/21: Pours a similar color. Slightly darker. More tropical and herbal. Less citrus and pineapple.
Overall: A very good showcase of the Nectaron hops. Nice Sauv Blanc, tropical flavors of berry, melon, and slightly herbal with some orange underneath. Nice flavors and body without being too herbal or tropically sweet. I enjoyed this one and slightly preferred it to the Citra version. (Final Rating: 3.90)

Pours a hazy gold. Sweet juicy aroma. Sweet fruit juice body. Fades quickly to a clean finish. Not much hop character. Goes down smooth. Pretty good.

Poured into a grip shaped goblet: color is pale straw gold, hazy but not murky, head is off white and presents 1/2 inch thick, dissipates to a thin top, limited lacing on glass sides.
Smell is very limited, strained to get a hint of citric hops and maybe some biscuit malt.
Taste is light citrus with an orange tilt, hint of floral and grass, light malt, pretty thin for the style.
Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, low bitterness, low sweetness.
Overall a subtle, subdued hazy ipa - limited aroma, lighter flavor and feel.

Pours a hazy straw color with a reasonably big fluffy white head which lingers ultimately forming lacing. Pineapple, pine and hops on the nose but not particularly strong. A mild and light tasting NE IPA with some watered down tropical fruit (pineapple) with a some resin.

This pours from the can somewhat hazy, a cloudy appearance that unfortunately doesn’t excite. I’m expecting nectarine on the nose, but straining to find it. Light juicy hop presence on the sip, with more of that defining FW minerality that I’ve found across their profile. Wish this was fresher—canned Feb. 2021, purchased and reviewed April of the same year.

12 oz can, canned 3/19/21. Pours hazy dark yellow with a medium frothy white head that retains fairly well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet wheat malt with catty hops and some fruit.
The flavor is sweet wheat malts with tropical fruit and a medium catty bitterness in the finish. It's a little mild and washed out. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with smooth carbonation.
Overall, a decent NE IPA.

Hazy, but not murky yellow, thin white head, decent retention and lace
Pineapple, mixed citrus, and dank aroma
Passionfruit and pineapple hop flavors up front, followed by a watered down oat flavor
Medium-light bodied with appropriate carbonation
Cool hop, just don't like the beer.
