COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
It is a Hoppy Golden Bitter inspired by a recent visit by some of our Brewers to Yorkshire, England. A true session ale, "Half Nelson" expresses the characteristics of Golden Promise malt from Scotland & Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand. Flavors & aromas reminiscent of sauvignon blanc wine & fresh cut grass emanate from the glass. Straying a bit from a traditional Bitter, "Half Nelson" has a hop forward quality, yet retains smoothness & drinkability that the style is famous for. This is our lowest alcohol content offering @ 4.4% ABV

jethrodium (356) - Berkeley, California, USA - NOV 1, 2011

On tap at Beer Revolution. Pours a clear very light amber with a one finger white head that has good retention and leaves a lot of lacing on the glass. The aroma is some lemon, white wine grapes, a bit of earthiness, some light floral notes, and some biscuit. The taste follows the nose with the initial taste have a bit of lemon zest, then some white grapes come through as well as some biscuit, earthiness, and some floral notes. The finish has a light bitterness. Light bodied. Medium carbonation. Not bad, but not great either.
