Thanks, Nick!

Got a can of this and some other good stuff from Nick. With Cerebral it has to be good. Untappd description called for “Double IPA with Hallertau Blanc, Nelson, Citra, and Nectaron hops.” Three hops I love and Hallterau Blanc.

Poured a light golden hazy color with 2-to-3 fingers of frothy white head. No noticeable bubbles coming up from the bottom or sides of the glass. Perfect spiderweb foamy lacing. Almost perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled Hallertau Blanc (hate you) first, followed by Citra, and then after Nectaron and Nelson. Specifically viney berry, white wine, peach, nectarine, tangerine, Tang and passion fruit. Just as good out of the can with a lot of peach. (Smell - 4.00)

Tasted about as good as the nose, maybe a little better. In order got Nectaron, Hallertau Blanc (hate you), Nelson and Citra. Also viney berry, peach, nectarine, tangerine, Tang, passion fruit, grapefruit rind and white grape. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long finish. (Feel - 4.25)

Really liked this one. Glad I got to try it. (Overall - 4.25)
