Late Pick Nelson - 7% DDH Hazy IPA
This Hazy IPA is a showcase of Nelson from the final days of the harvest. Brewed with hops from Freestyle Hops (Lot SV25-26KL-NSN) this beer highlights the lush, later pick character.
Expect rich overripe tropical fruit balanced by zesty grapefruit and a delicate dank finish.

Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head, doesn't last. Airy palate, a little dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a light but satisfying creamy sweetness. Nelson hops punching here, well punching by the last decade+ standard. Savoury skunk. Good resinous winey grape, ripe white wine and a touch of white port. Light semi dry and crispy finish leaves a skunky ripe white winey linger. The can says pink grapefruit, and of course, I can now taste it. Very good Nelson indeed and this was good IPA with it.

Can from The Craft Beer Cabin, Bromley. Aromas of mango, papaya, pineapple, grapefruit, peach, sweet citrus. Taste is much the same with some apricot lurking around in the back end. Punchy fruity mouthfeel. Juicy bittersweet finish.
