When life gives you lemons you make lemonade, and then when life gives you Nelson you make a single-hop IPA. It's hard not to fall head over heels for the Nelson we selected this year; it's everything one could want from Nelson with its potent aromas of funky and fresh passionfruit, sauvignon blanc grapes, key lime zest, sweet apricots, hints of pineapple, juicy pear, and an overwhelming diesel character that is so much better than it sounds on paper. There will always be newer and flashier hops that will show up on the market, compared to many Nelson is already an old soul built for speed, but while they're all out hot-dogging Nelson will be in the brewhouse laying the glass on extra thick.

Here is not really a surprise, this beer I drank in early 2023, well now in late 2025, I'm writing the first review of the beer for this Next Glass owned website.
Pours a similar appearance to gravy. Its not very attractive looking. Chicken gravy esque. The aroma pops nicely for the Nelson hop, white grape, diesel, funky weed, garlic, onion, overripe apricot. Sometimes people like to say gooseberries.
The taste pushes a hefty notion of all those Nelson hop characteristics. Body is smoothed out and a hazier flaked wheat and rolled oats existence of a beer not from Treehouse. You still get a hearty amount of Nelson hops, but through the lens of a more chill body. Still packs enough bitterness to keep it from feeling saggy or trubby. This is a real good beer I don't see Fieldwork make that often.
Too often there is only a smidge of Nelson, but here you get a single hop one, and boy does it capture everything people love and hate about the Nelson hop.
