3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at Brewdog Bar, Aberdeen. It pours a cloudy amber colour with a foamy white head. The nose is of grape, orange, lemon, passion fruit and varnish. The taste is resin, grape, orange and lemon peel, lime, sour gooseberry and wood with a long, bold bitter finish. It’s very drinkable for the alcohol percentage.

This was not as zesty as I expected. The nose was more vegetal than citrus-fruit. I’m pinpointing the nose down to parsnip in the end. A soft and fairly balanced beer on the palate. Is this hop generally more used for hopping in the kettle or is it primarily a dry-hop varietal. I am confused.

gorgeous nose! pink grapefruit rind and flower stem hops. more stems than citrus. some alcohol and sweet malt background
thin/med body and slightly fizzy
yellow grapefruit rind is primary taste.
i quite like this hop
light gold/yellow, faintly hazy
nice hoppy aroma. a bit nettly/hop stem nose.
thin body and slightly fizzy
has a certain flowery element. hoppy dry and nettly. interesting. i think this should be accompanied with another hop.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pint at The Rake, London. A big hit of pineapple in the aroma, with a touch of vanilla. Taste is quite the same with the hop having a prickly feeling in the mouth, and plenty of tropical and oaky flavour. Could still taste the hop this morning. Did enjoy this, but there was something odd (not a bad thing) in the flavour that i just couldnt put my finger on.

Bottle at aBottle Shop tasting. Amber colour thin lasting white head. Peach mango tropical fruits. Lovely aroma really good. Its good. I mean one of the best Nelson Sauvin single hops I have had. Good but the Bramling Cross was the best.
