Served in a goblet from the can.
Appearance: Semi hazy with a white head which rose half a fingers length off the body.
Smell: Deep heavy floral and rich citrus juice.
Taste: Smooth malty feel, semi bitter. Has a light sweetness to it which dissipates quickly.
Mouth: Touch dry. Very sticky with a soft carbonation.
Overall: Nice pick-up, nothing spectacular but good to drink. Didn't bring nothing new but the aroma is still lingering. Always in a glass, salud!

16oz can from Sprayberry Bottle Shop (Marietta, GA). 4.99. Canned 2/11/19. Served in a teku. Enjoyed 3/18/19.
Pours an opaque, muted hay yellow with a fairly short cap of white head. The froth settles, leaving minimal retention.
Smells of sweet berries and tropical fruity hops. Passion fruit, oranges, melon, berries and some vague bread.
Tastes a bit more bitter than the nose hinted but it works well. Passion fruit, cantaloupe, orange, seedy berry, lemon drops, fresh cut floral greens, bread and an occasional nip of booze.
Medium full, almost slick feel with mellow carbonation. The slightly bitter aftertaste hints at berry seeds, citrus peel and melon.
Glad I followed my “beer guy’s” advice and grabbed some Sand City for their special release in Georgia. Power Of One really lets the Australian hops shine in a solid NEIPA vessel. Looking forward to trying more from Sand City.

Served on tap into a goblet at the Sand City Brewery.
A: Pours a cloudy, orange-yellow color with a one finger, white head, solid retention, and sticky rings of lacing.
S: Spicy, as in cardamom. Lime aromas acts as a very interesting counterpoise.
T: Semidry. Almost reminiscent of a chili beer. Lime and grapefruit flavors strong and offer a cooling presence. Bitterness light.
M: Medium bodied with medium to strong carbonation. Creamy and rich; drinks exceptionally smoothly.
O: An unusual and really flavor forward NEIPA. Really enjoyed and brought some home..

Not a big fan of Nelson hops but this was pretty smooth.

Just received this can in the mail from a friend in NY, VERY impressive for a 3+ month old hazy! Aroma is quite light & muted, but it still has the nice white wine/grapes/gooseberry taste from the Nelson. Can only imagine what kind of blast this would be fresh. Feel is really smooth & outstanding for an imperial hazy.
Overall, top notch and right there with the best of the same style out here. Makes we want to visit NY.

This the first beer I’ve had from Sand City. Came in a 5oz pour as part of a flight at the brewery. Had a beautiful, hazy orange hue, smelled of tropical fruits and citrus. Immediately hits you with the tropical fruit once you sip it - big papaya/guava/mango flavors up front thanks to the Galaxy hops. Probably the best thing about this beer, though, is how ridiculously smooth it is at 8.2%. Big hops and bitterness are there, but toned down to a pleasant point. Definitely a new favorite of mine.
