We add major amounts of Nelson Sauvin, Mosaic, and Citra hops to give this beer soft, tropical and citrusy hop notes. A touch of flaked oats keeps it all in balance. Hazy and golden in color make this a crushable beer for all seasons. Beer is art.

taster at brewery. Orange golden pour with a light frothy head. Aroma is fruity and floral, tropical fruit, light malts. Taste presents a nice pale malty backbone garnished with tropical and citrus fruits,mildly seet, smooth. Dries out at the finish.

a: hazy burnt yellow color with some hints of orange and copper. poured a nice solid vibrant white head that faded pretty quickly
s: picking up some Nelson right away. earthy, musty grapes. vanilla and orange sherbet. sweet oranges, passionfruit, and tangerines. creamsicle ice cream and a hint of strawberry
t: loads of strawberry kiwi upfront. passionfruit, peach cobbler, blueberries, and that earthy white grape note. a hint of sweet sugar and crackers at the backend
m: fluffy, medium mouthfeel with low-medium carbonation
o: not a bad NEIPA. super fruity, and some nice Nelson - however, for having Nelson in the name, it is definitely not the protagonist in here. the fruity berry flavors are really nice though. this one is worth a pickup if you're into the berry and Nelson flavors in an IPA. I am rating this as a NEIPA.

Can to snifter.
LOOK: hazy yellow,
AROMA: citrus and mold.
TASTE: citrus, tropical fruit a tad less. Some light wood. Hay. Grapefruit, lemon.
FEEL: pillowy soft. Medium carbonation. Smooth.
Very nice. Much better than the pale ale of the same name. This was more of what I had expected.
