"To be frank, I think it's the most delicious*" The mouthfeel is sharp, but it has a fruity aftertaste that feels round.
*This is the subjectivity of Shirakami, representative of SoCalization.
Tropical & fruity IPA with plenty of Nelson hops from NZ
As the name suggests, “Nelson” is an IPA that generously uses Nelson Sauvin hops, a popular variety from New Zealand, from boiling to dry hopping.
In addition to barley, European rye is used for the malt, giving it a smooth and malty, well-balanced finish.
I wouldn't call it a Hazy IPA, but it's a hazy golden color.
Exuberant, generous pine, tropical fruit aromas and flavors, along with a hint of rye spiciness.
A medium-bodied finish that leaves a three-dimensional aftertaste that comes with a time lag between fruitiness and bitterness.

IT'S NELSON OR NOTHING
Named after Nelson Sauvin, an outstanding hop variety from New Zealand. The hop is introduced through the brewing and dry-hopping of this complex and well-balanced IPA. A hazy straw hued ale, Nelson is topped by bright white beer foam and offers a Tropical hop aroma. The pine and fruity hop notes linger, but are well-balanced by the smooth, malty addition of European rye malts. Enjoy this stunning and multifaceted, yet mellow IPA.
