Cloudy, orange color. Big, white head. Tropical fruits, malt, and honey in the aroma. Light sweetness at start with a moderately bitter finish. Good as usual.

poured from a 16oz can into a narrow gauge stemless wine glass. pours a thick, hazy orange with two fingers of frothy white foam head. aromas of grapefruit, citrus and white wine grapes. tastes follows with a touch of grass in the finish. medium-full mouthfeel. really good stuff. an excellent hop combination here. i love nelson hops and simcoe makes for a great accompanying hop. great execution by other half.

Canned 10/2/23 (my birthday!). Pours a pale gold, cloudy and light head and lacing. Has that classic IPA scent- a dank, funky cat pee nature, but also oniony and citrusy. Taste is juicy, citrusy, and slightly bitter. Pineapple and tropical fruit are definitely strong in this one. Light to medium bodied, thin mouth watering finish. Well hidden alcohol. Excellent.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy dark yellow pour, persistent one finger fluffy white head, lacing. Gorgeous. Aroma is very light citrus, grapefruit, floral. Taste is fruity, mild sweetness, citrus, juicy, floral and a mild bitterness towards the finish. I want to both drink this right down and let it last forever at the same time. A real masterpiece. This should be on Heaven's taplist.

Was going to write a real review but @GreesyFizeek pretty much nailed it. I love these hop varieties and Other half always works wonders with Nelson - these just sing together beautifully. Initial pineapple dankness followed closely by Sauvignon blanc vibes from the Nelson. Deft body and carbonation, I drank two tall boys in a row. Very, very good stuff.

Can purchased at Fattey Beer Company in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a very hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like slightly funky pineapple juice, melon, gooseberry, and white grape.
This is a great representation of both hops. Nelson is an all-timer for Other Half, and that exotic berry and grape thing is going full tilt here. There’s some creamy orange, pineapple, and melon, as well, with a light bitterness.
This is creamy, and full bodied, with a great drinkability.
Other Half still dominates this area, for the most part. This was quite nice.

C: Deep cloudy haze. Golden. Thin white head with nice lacing
S: Hoppy pine, citrus, upfront, followed by subtle floral note
T: Bitter NE hop. Definitely taste the Nelson Sauvin hops.
F: light wet typical of IPA. Smooth going down doesn't leave your mouth astringent.
Overall: Poured at 44ºF, 16fl. oz can, Canned on 01/03/2023, $6.00 per can, 8.5%ABV. Really great beer super fresh and tastes great a little pricey, but worth it!

A - Medium opaque golden orange with incredibly thick, dense, white lacing.
S - Tropical fruit and pineapple dominate the nose. Overall = juicy tropical fruit.
T - Pineapple, spicy pineapple rind, citrus, and passionfruit. Ends on the sweeter side with light pine bitterness buried underneath.
M - Big medium body that's pillowy soft and chewy that's bone dry on the back of the tongue.
O - I dig "old school" hops and I like this beer. Any questions?
