Hopped with 100% Nelson Sauvin hops and dry hopped at 3 lbs. per barrel for pleasantly diesel-like, tropical fruit and melon aromas. As usual we used only the best Nelson from Freestyle Farms in New Zealand, a farm that we have traveled to in the past to select their finest hops.

Draught at Gourmet Haus. Pours a pureed yellow with full white head. Massive juice on the aroma, doesn’t quite follow through in the flavor. A little thin on the mouthfeel.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a light, foamy white head. The nose has massive dank hop character, tropical fruits, cat piss. Medium sweet flavour, nicely dry but also dank, with notes of melon, grapefruit, peach. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish, with more dry and pithy citrus, pee, melon, grapefruit. Outstanding.

Poured from a 22 oz bomber; I?m so happy they are bottling now. Aroma is very hop forward with a medium light malt backbone with cracker and biscuit as well as some bready yeast notes. Lots of melon and tropical fruit with some dank resin notes. Light white wine and stone fruit notes. Pours a very cloudy, murky, pale yellow straw color with a medium sized, moderately thick white head that shows good retention as it slowly recedes. Medium high lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with a dry finish. Moderately strong cracker and biscuit malt notes with some bready yeast characteristics. Medium to medium high bitterness. Lots of melon, mango, guava and other tropical fruit. Some light onion dank notes with hints of citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, I love nelson sauvin hops and while this isn?t the greatest exhibition of them it?s still a great pale ale. Nice malt backbone that adds some character, especially in the flavor. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Mt. Nelson – Double Dry Hopped on 19 Jul 2020 at 23:11 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5. Original review text: Poured from a 16 oz can dated July 06, 2020. Aroma is very Nelson forward. Loads of gooseberry, passion fruit, and white wine fruitiness. Light cracker malt notes and a hint of alcohol. Pours a dull, pale, golden straw color with a large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes rather slowly to a small film that lingers. Fairly high amount of lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium high bitterness and faint alcohol notes. Fairly strong hop notes of gooseberry, passion fruit and white wine notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a beef that I just love. So much bright nelson sauvin hop notes in both the aroma and flavor.

Tap at the Brewpub. Deeply cloudy and thick pastel gold color with thick lace. Huge Nelson nose, honey and biscuits, melon, maybe a bit of diacetyl. Huge fop flavor. Very bitter, also very sweet and creamy. Too creamy and oily for me. Crazy and interesting.
