COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Nelson is a love it or hate it kinda hop. We are cool with that, if we wanted to keep everyone happy we would be brewing Fosters anyway. Sharp as a razor, this New Zealand hop slices its way through your taste buds and is brutally resinous, almost scraping the intense flavours of passion fruit along your poor tongue.  There is a huge depth of tropical fruit flavour with astringent gooseberry balanced against the robust malt base.  Throw another shrimp on the Barbie mate and you are all set. New Zealand is near Austria, right?

Grima (1486) - Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, GERMANY - FEB 2, 2012
The beer in the glass is orange-yellow, very cloudy, with fine creamy head. It smells lots like aroma hops, flowery, fruity (orange and lemon) and light caramel. Starts with a flowery aroma hops, coupled with some caramel, and again a lot of orange and citrus fruits. The middle part is dominated by the orange flavor, paired with some citrus and floral hops. In the background it is slightly caramelly. Goes into a long-lasting, very orangey finish with some grapefruit and flowery hops.

Bottle. Hazy golden orange with dense off white coloured head. Big floral perfumey aromas dominated by passionfruit. Flavours are sweet upfront before decent resiny finish. Medium mouthfeel.

sayravai (4535) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JAN 6, 2012
(Draught@Pikkulintu, rated 2011-08-09) Murky copper with a firm head. Exotic-peachy fruit in the nose, with berries and some stuffiness. Herby-fruity flavor with caramely maltiness and even some vegetables. Quite creamy, soft and full-bodied palate. Trailing the Citra version in every respect, but not exactly bad.

stefannilssons (259) - SWEDEN - JAN 3, 2012
Det här är en av de bättre ölen i ’ipa is dead’ serien. Den har en kraftfull smak som går lite åt det blommiga hållet, men ändå inte riktigt. Efterbeskan/smaken är lång och trevlig, riktigt lång.

Archibaldo de la Cruz (778) - FINLAND - NOV 25, 2011
Bottle. Orange with small white head. Hoppy aroma with orange and grapefruit. Flavour is also quite hoppy, orange, grapefruit, passionfruit with some sweet malt and bitterness. Quite dry and bitter finish.
