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?

Papsoe (25131) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 6, 2011
Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy deep golden with an off-white head. Intense Nelson Sauvin in the nose – almost chemical. Medium body, sweet fruitiness, tropical notes of the hops and a fairly bitter and almost astringent finish. 050411

erickok (2292) - Tours, FRANCE - APR 5, 2011
Dark orange slightly hazy body. Very fruity aroma, grapefruit and grass. Quite distinctive but good. Full on bitterness, especially in the aftertaste. Feels very pure yet a little one sided. On the other hand it gains some sweetness when it warms up. Nice. My favourite from the 4.

Plovmand (5712) - Helsinge, DENMARK - APR 5, 2011
Bottle. Pours hazy deep golden with a medium white head. The aroma is passion fruit, burning rubber, caramel, citrus and grape fruit. The flavour is quite dry with notes of burning rubber, passion fruit, light mango and citrus. Straight forward Nelson IPA which is a good thing!
