From UnTappd and -- given its length and enthusiasm -- from Nail's website.
"Then, in the black heart of winter 2017, Nail released what was then a yet-to-be-named New World session ale going by the working title of "Mid-E" – since dropped in favour of MVP. The beer cuts a similar path to the single hop El Dorado VPA, filling out its 3.4 percent ABV with Galaxy, Astra and Calypso hops to keep things fun and fruity. Passionfruit and mango shine while tangerine plays a supporting role to balance the tropical fruit. It comes with a firm bitterness that exceeds most in its category meaning, for many, it's exactly what is missing from the low alcohol space.

My first from Nail, this small family-owned micro starting in 2000 offers up one of micro-dom's more dramatic stories. Four years from being a home brewer and winning local professional awards, Nail's founder goes into a coma from a brain injury and is saved by surgery and metal plate. Starting from scratch a few years later, Nail's family recovers and produces award worthy beers again. They have grown with some 13000+ Uniques on Untappd and 1000+ for MVP. Nail still survives.
MVP is an interesting ale. It is hard to produce flavors at this low an ABV. But flavor is here. MVP opens average, too little foam but a nice amber. Smells of sweet malt and some fruity hops. Tastes introduce modest hops at mid-palate and they stay making a refreshing drink. Light-mouthed for the style, but nice bubbles.
Huge Overall Hugs for this micro's master brewer and the persistence of family brewing in a climate that just wants refreshment. Cheers !
