UPDATED: AUG 26, 2022 Can. Rich amber beer with a cream head. Tropical fruit and citrus aroma. tropical fruit and citrus flavor with light dusty malt. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Tropical fruit and citrus linger.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2022 A great IPA. Citrus hops, plenty of malt balance that introduces sweetness. I could drink this all day.

UPDATED: APR 14, 2022 Can from Total Wine in Folsom, CA at 8.8%. Citra, Sourthern Cross, Nelson and Pacific Jade hops. Pours translucent orange gold with a decent white head. Aroma is floral, citrus and cooked caramel. Med body or better. It is hoppy, but not painfully bitter. Melon, grapes, unusual citrus and a lot of perfume/floral. Malt is rather cooked caramel. Hard to explain that, but it is different from plain old caramel. It's heavy duty flavor, but a bit on the malty side.

UPDATED: APR 5, 2022 Hazy gold with a medium sized foamy white head that left good lacing. Semi dry with fruity, citric and perfumey hops. Medium finish and body.

UPDATED: JAN 10, 2022 Grapefruit and lots of pine. Golden pour with great head and lacing. Bitter ass finish. Great malt backbone. Light touch of oak. Can.

UPDATED: JAN 10, 2022 Can. Pours clear orangey gold with thin head. Strong resiny grapeseed aroma. Bitter honey, resin, mild grapefruit, some citrus and green grapes. Finish is more bitter honey. I didn't know this was double Nelson. As a big fan of Nelson this one is delicous too. Deservedly hyped dipa.

UPDATED: DEC 28, 2021 16 ounce can. Pours a mostly clear gold with a nice white head. Aroma of citrus, tropical, and pine. Taste is grapefruit, pine, tropical, and malt. Very, very good.

UPDATED: DEC 9, 2021 Sampled from the tap at Ermanos. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges.

UPDATED: AUG 28, 2019 Can thanks to Dan. Pours a cloudy orange with medium white head. The aroma is strong dank, melon, and grapefruit. Slick body, pineapple, dank, melon, juicy, resin bitterness, very nice.

Long wanted to try this beer and finally got to do so during the 10th anniversary of San Diego Beer Week. Draft at O'Brien's Pub. POURS a quite hazy muddy gold hue with minimal white head. I think this beer precedes the "haze craze" -- interesting to see it so murky. AROMA is mellow but has notes of sweet grains, dank, citrus, vanilla, with some of that onion / garlic hop presence...what hop is that? FLAVOR of sweet juicy citrus, soft peach, apricot, dank hops, soft vanilla, and lots of other subtle taste bud elements. Moderate bitterness and exceptionally well balanced, all while hiding the moderately high ABV really well. There is no real stand-out feature here, but everything melds together exceptionally well here making this an excellent beer. This is the quintessential presentation of the Nelson Sauvin hop!
