Mandela
Great Notion Brewing

 

Slight hop burn.

 

 

White washed yellow plenty of cloud.

Tropical juices, citrus, and a splash of that unquestionable Nelson Sauvin gooseberry white wine goodness in both aroma and flavor.

Smooth and balanced with a touch of bitterness on the end. A bit creamy, as expected, and pretty easy to take down.

Par for the Great Notion course, and a great use of Nelson. Cheers.

 

Very cloudy straw appearance with white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is a pronounce grapefruit and hops. Taste is also a nice blend of grapefruit and hops that is a little thin.

 

 

 

 

a hazy nelson brew, not so uncommon from a style standpoint, but leagues better than most of what else is out there in this field. just my third ever beer from great notion, but they have all been memorable! hazy and pale, almost green looking, like i can see the dissolved pellets in here, but it has a great head on it, still visible carbonation, and a creamy looking body. it smells amazing, nelson all day, juicy white wine, fresh peaches, honeydew, and robustly lotioned high school girl, like something out of bath and body works used like there was no tomorrow, man is this fragrant! the flavor is about there with it, less of the orchard fruit more of the wine, some kiwi and pineapple nuance too, even a little tang from it, and more oils than i am used to in the southern hemisphere types. i love the simplicity, its starchy and full, but the flavor is all about the nelson hops, and i appreciate that. creamy and rich but also dry, really effervescent carbonation helps keep it drinkable, and overall just a really nice take on this style, better than so many of them. these guys are for real! glad to have them in town this week for gabf!

 

Light, refreshing, and delicious.

 

 

16 oz can, thanks bro for picking this up- Pours the haziest of hazy IPA's pale straw golden with a large white head. Aroma is tropical, juicy explosion, mango citrus, a bit of hops, but honestly it smells like juice. The flavor is again tropical explosion in my mouth, juicy, mango, grapefruit, piney and resinous mingles well. Very delicious.
