Nelson Takes Flight
Burgeon Beer Company

 

 

Excellent IPA from a brewery that's new to me. Looks fantastic, hazy yellow-orange color with good rings of lingering lacing. Smells of lots of ripe fruity hops - grapefruit, mango, papaya, tangerine, lemon and pineapple. Good amount of dankness, especially as the beer warmed. Also some malt, grassy and floral hops, vanilla and biscuit. Taste follows the nose, great balance between the bitter hit of hops and the smoother, sweeter malt backbone. Smooth, sticky, mild mouthfeel that coats the palate. Juicy and soft. Reminded me of a NE-style IPA. Higher ABV was well-hidden. Good carbonation. This beer was even better as it warmed in the glass. I will definitely have to look for more offerings from this brewery!

I love the Nelson hop and this beer showcases it flawlessly. Looks like all the other OJ looking NEIPA’s but tastes like liquid Nelson hops. The feel was soft and smooth. Overall, Delicious!
