Got a can of this and a handful of other stuff on a recent trip to Windmill Farms. Online description read “Around The Way, IPA showcases one of our favorite hops- Nelson Sauvin! On the nose we get a bright hop expression loaded with notes of white grape, lemon-lime, and subtle dank blueberry. A simple grist of primarily pale and wheat malt provides a fluffy foundation for this powerhouse hop to freely intermingle with our house yeast character. A balanced, purposeful, degree of bitterness keeps the palate soft and the finish clean. We hope you will enjoy Around The Way with old and new friends alike.”

Poured a medium gold hazy color with 3-to-4 fingers of rocky white head. Could see a few bubbles creeping up along the sides of the glass. Almost perfect spiderweb foamy lacing. Perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled Nelson, tangerine, dank pine, gooseberry, orange rind, viney berry, white grape, peach and stone fruit. Just as good from the can. (Smell - 4.00)

Tasted about the same. In order got Nelson, dank pine, gooseberry, tangerine, orange rind, white grape, viney berry, peach, passion fruit and stone fruit. (Taste - 4.00)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average-to-lively carbonation. Long, dank finish. (Feel - 4.00)

Really a nice beer. Glad I tried it. (Overall - 4.00)

Very well-done NEIPA for those fans of the Nelson hop.
