Full Nelson pours a bright copper blonde which is accompanied by an attractive white head, which is both compact and lasting. From the word go, the aroma positively screams Nelson Sauvin hops, with their gooseberry, raisin, citrus and tropical fruit aroma. This is echoed in the taste, with the addition of a pleasant bitterness. Don’t do things by half, get the Full Nelson!

On tap @ Henrik. A blurry light golden looking one with a nice medium sized white top. Nice fruity mild hoppy nose with a lovely sweetness. Caramel and red apples blended to a wonderful aroma. Super balanced flavors. Feels quite light in the mouth with a prickling carbonation level. I get cat pee, flowers, hay, soft mouth drying but lovely flavors. Biscuits near the end. Well crafted. 21.12.2013

330ml bottle from Urban Taphouse, drunk at home in Ford. Got a big dose of pineapple and grapes on the nose on opening. Taste mellows with an interesting white wine / gooseberry influence from the Nelson Sauvin. I’d imagine this is a good crossover beer to get my wine-loving auntie into. Somewhat light and refreshing on the finish. Lovely stuff.

24/11/2013 Bibere Bistrot (handpump). Ambrata, leggermente torbida, schiuma bianco sporco abbondante, pannosa e morbida. Al naso malto, fruttato, pesca, leggero agrumato, freschissima, molto migliore di quella provata giorni prima (fusto differente, ossidata). In bocca ha un attacco maltato, la luppolatura è generosa ma non eccessiva, fresca e di facile beva, ottima. Corpo leggero, carbonazione soft. Gran bella bevuta!

330ml bottle from Ales by Mail
BBE 8/14 - Pours clear copper orange with a small white head. Aroma of crisp grainy maltiness, some fruitiness and grassy hops. Taste is smooth, grainy and malty with a touch of exotic fruits, grapefruit and resinous notes. Finish is grainy, hoppy and slightly bitter with some grass and grapefruity notes. Okay, a bit unbalanced, the malty notes don’t quite fit in with the hop profile.
