500ml can from the brewery. Murky golden with a big creamy white head. Aroma of grape, orange, gooseberry. Taste of grape, grapefruit, white wine, some gooseberry tartness and a touch of pine, light bitter citric hop finish. Medium bodied.
Excellent pale.

Can. A medium haze on this yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, light bodied but still delivering a creamy sweetness that suits this brew. So another way of hopping - bliss - this method a cultivation technique apparently. Nelson Sauvin Bliss delivers bright and slightly winey grape, touch of gooseberry. A little bit of tarter grape on the back end. Cooling pine throughout and a touch of hop spice. Impressive. This is Nelson almost as good as it once was. Certainly the bright fruitiness is for me, classic NS. Just missing a bit of that almost white port resinous chewiness but, this is a nit pick. Excellent NS Pale Ale.
