It's A Yes

Tap to rate

Like 2 Thumbs Up before it, this beer came out of the Pretty Good Pale Ale experiments and has appeared under its own name since 2025. The brewery sells it as a Nectaron pale ale and describes big bursts of tropical fruit and citrus wrapped up in a soft, voluptuous body. Idaho 7, Motueka, Cascade and Citra join the lead hop, oats and wheat are part of the grist. One drinker's shorthand: a dank juice bomb.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft, voluptuous mouthfeel enhanced by oats and wheat, delivering juice-like drinkability rather than assertive bitterness. Tropical fruit and citrus continue through the mid-palate, with Cascade adding herbaceous balance. The 40 IBU integrate smoothly, providing structure without harshness or lingering bite.
