great hop combination on this, hazy but not heavy or messy, sometimes great notion can go a little overboard with the haze, the greenness, the dry hopping, but this one seems a little more dialed in, and as such as more drinkable and bright, great to have these guys selling beer in idaho now, finally starting to demystify some of these beers. yellow and pale, uniformly cloudy, but no visible sediment in this, and not overly starchy or yeasty to me. the nose rules, nelson is immediately recognizable, sauvignon blanc, green pear, and white peach notes to it, a faint onion thing from the sabro, and the soft lemon curd of the citra, all evident, all fresh, and without any bite. the bitterness seems low, the grain is earthy and dry, a little cereal note to it, and the fermentation is clean and minimal, very pleasant. the flavor is juice and southern hemisphere to me, kiwi fruit, ripe green melon, more pear, a little lemon too from the citra, slightly oily and palate coating but not heavy from haze and grain. slight peach to this, white grapefruit too, less of the sabro in taste than in smell, a wheaty foundation it seems, a cleanness to the whole thing that keeps it dry and light, and a springy herbal element right on the finish, almost in the place of bitterness. cool hop combination, slightly creamy feel, good proportions, decidedly contemporary. maybe not among the best of the best hoppy beers they make, but its darn good!

A very, very good hazy IPA from GN, less than a month old at the time of tasting. Bright, hazy gold with a large white cap; herbal, spicy, woody, white wine, bright citrus fruit, lemon peel, mint, coconut, diesel, crackery grains, all present and really showcasing all three hop varietals. Good stuff.

Pours a matte, pale yellow color. Completely opaque. Sudsy white head forms on the beer and quickly dissipates. Not much in the way of head retention. Aroma is really interesting - so you get that woody, white wine note from the nelson hops. There are some spicy herbal notes with coconut coming from the sabro hops and then the orange, citrus, and mango and papaya.

Taste follows the nose with notes of lemon, lemon rind, lemon grass, coconut, white grape, with woody notes, some spicy herbal notes. It is really interesting because there is a certain herbal spiciness that is pretty unique to the style. Feel is light to medium bodied, smooth, with moderate carbonation.

Overall another solid, well made NEIPA from Great Notion.
