This delectable hazy IPA is packed to the brim with mountains of Nelson, Motueka, and Simcoe hops and fermented with London III yeast, yielding a brilliant profile replete with mango, nectarine, and bright lime-zest character. Prepare your flavor receptacles for an astonishing thrill ride through a garden of tropical delights.

Solid hazy! It's been a while, but this beer is soft and pillowy but it delivers amazing hop character in the form of herbal, flowery, citrus zest, and funky, danky grass. Medium mouthfeel, higher carbonation, finishes medium-dry. Gains character as it warms. Amazing!

16 oz can from Boise Coop. I had reached a saturation point for hazy IPAs, they started to all blend together. Then there's this. Pour is normal enough, subtle tropical fruity aroma. Taste is extremely subdued, very much so. Then it hits you...this is great stuff. Mellow, soft, bitter and sweet, at all the right levels. Hits the spot for sure. Nelson hops a great choice.

L: hazy golden body with a frothy off-white head
S: juicy tropical fruit, citrus, pine, melon, mint
T: mango, orange, grapefruit, lime, nectarine, mint, wheat, grainy malt
F: full body, smooth yet resinous, soft carbonation, bitter finish
O: I got excited about this Nelson hopped beer, but after I got it home I realized it was hopped with Motueka, which is not my favorite. Either way, the beer is everything you’d expect from Modern Times

Appearance: Pours a hazy goldenstraw color with a bubble show that slowly builds to a two fingered head; webby lacing abounds
Smell: Floral with a white wine grape element; a hint of dank pine
Taste: Pleasantly floral, on the front end, with papaya and white wine grape flavors building; low to moderate bitterness, with some dank pine tones, after the swallow; the finish has some sweetness to accompany the bitter flavors
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: A pleasant NE IPA that brings some floral and Antipodean elements to the style

12/18/21 Canned 9/29”BLM”. NEIPA Hazy, Nelson hops. Lemon. Not sweet, not bitter, lacks vibrancy. Thin. Ok but can do better.

Pours a cloudy orange color with a chunky white head. Aromas include grapefruit, orange and an oily hop not. Flavor follows with a nice malt presence in the background to smooth everything out a bit. Slightly resinous on the palate, finishes gently considering the bold flavors. Very nicely done!
