Nicely balanced hazy. Golden yellow haze, crisp caramel and light sugary haze; grapefruit, spicy tropical fruit and a bit of floral notes dominate on both the nose and palate. There's definitely a good bit of that Nelson-like spice. Medium body, good carb

Look: Cloudy light orange-yellow with a generous and quick-forming white head that hangs for a bit before slowly receding and leaving great lacing on the glass
Aroma: Peach, mango, mandarin, raspberry, blueberry, wafts of pineapple, sweet citrus flowers, and some bread-driven malt notes
Taste: A tropical fruit, citrus fruit, and berry salad all the way – ripe peach, orange, pomelo, mandarins, mango, melon, cane berries, blueberries, and a little Cannabis. Sweet malt stays in the background mostly but is present and finishes with more fruity notes and a faint, almost vanilla note
Mouthfeel: Full, medium-high carbonation, not too thick feeling, and though somewhat soft on the finish, I detect some alpha acids and ever-so-slight bite
Overall: This is tasty stuff. An easy grab being a collaboration between two breweries I respect and even though I didn’t know it was a ‘hazy,’ didn’t pass judgement until trying it and it’s good. An awesome fruit bomb throughout but a good malt backbone and not chewy on the feel nor a detectable hop burn with an also surprisingly lightly bitter finish. Recommended
