Pours a pale, hazy yellow with a tall, creamy white head with excellent lacing. Nelson is prominent in the nose, very dank and grapefruity, some tropical complexities work in as well. Very mellow bitterness upfront, moves into ruby red grapefruit and lime, papaya, and a touch of pine. The malt is very neutral, providing a nice bready backbone. The feel is very lush and the finish is drying, but not overly so. Overall, an incredible showcase of Nelson hops, a perfectly balanced IPA.
