tfontana (3801) - Fremont, New Hampshire, USA - AUG 7, 2021UPDATED: AUG 7, 2021 Can (6/22/21) pour. It's a cloudy pale yellow with nice sparkle, finger-plus width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice spotty lacing. Aroma is strong grape, melon. Taste is strong white grape, biscuit backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and crisp finish as taste with yeast. Overall, strong aroma and flavor but not terribly complex and maybe didn't get everything out of the hop.

BreweryLiquids40 (7) - - NOV 2, 2019 does not count UPDATED: NOV 2, 2019 Can. Pale and hazy. Thin head. Toasty aroma, with a big nelson aroma, and some melon. On the aroma, it has a nice nelson sauvin taste, sweet pale malt, the usual excellent malt character from this brewery. Good balance. Solid brew, with a nice bit of bitterness to lend balance.
PhillyCraft (11988) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 15, 2019UPDATED: OCT 15, 2019 This isn't a new entry, It is the same as regular Hill Farmstead Nelson pale ale but just a different age on the hops. Brewing ingredients or percentage didn't change. Please fix RB

Tap at Blackback, pours hazy golden yellow with medium white head, tiny bubbles. Notes of bubblegum, cheese hops, cat piss, onion, papaya, grapefruit, zest, and lots of well water. Insanely drinkable and light on the palate. One of the better single hops I have had from HF. Cheers.
DiarmaidBHK (7594) - Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 13, 2019UPDATED: OCT 13, 2019 Can from brewery. Pours yellow and kind of hazy. Leaves some lacing in the glass. Lovely citrus and earthy notes on the nose and tongue. Finished with a hint of bitterness. Very crushable.

Murky pale blond colour. Wow, that's a pungent Nelson aroma as I haven't had in a long time. Crisp mouthfeel, a bit chalky, but with excellent hop expression.
Excellent.
