Copenhagen 5/8 2025. 47,3 cl can from Drik Beer web-shop, a very foggy and demure can with a pine Forres in different shades of grey and a white background.
Pours opaque hazy golden orange with a big white head. Stable. Settles as a thin, almost transparent layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing to speak of.
Aroma is intense with a sweet odor of fermented tropical fruits mingling with a more subtle citric scent. Mango and papaya. Alcohol. Citrus and lemon.
Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, soft, smooth, light tingling texture.
Flavor is intense with a rather strong sweetness followed by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a fermented sweet undertone. Lingers for a while. Finish is rather dry and fruity.
Potent NEIPA with Imperial aspirations.

No date on can, into a wide wine glass.
Pours an opaque orange with off white head, quite active. A little lighter than I would've expected. Aroma is also a little lighter than I would've wanted but is quite catty and skunky. Lots of white grape funk and hints of mango and papaya, as well as a little bit of a worrying alcohol note. Flavor is odd. It tastes like perfume. Extremely floral. From there, it slowly moves towards mango and rotten fruit, with that same white wine funk. Much more bitter than I would've expected. Orange notes move in as the flavor evolves and it finishes surprisingly juicy. I think I like the evolution much more than the flavor. The best analogy for what I'm getting from the Nelson in this is probably the upfront funk of a chardonnay combined with a mid shelf London dry gin vegetal flavor. Feel is meh. I think it's not quite in that middle ground between coasts, in that it's not thick and smooth enough to be a great hazy and it's not clean and snappy enough to be a good new school west coast.
Overall, my first mediocre but drinkable Abomination beer. After my last miserable experience with Wandering in the Fog, which followed up a sublime few cans of Rare Fog, this one is decidedly meh. There's nothing wrong with it, but I love Nelson, and this is really just showing off the worst parts of Nelson. I'll be waiting for Wandering in the Snow.
