Named after Nelson Sauvin, an outstanding hop varietal from New Zealand. The hop is introduced through the brewing and dry-hopping of this complex and well-balanced IPA. A hazy straw hued ale, Nelson is topped by bright white beer foam and offers a tropical hop aroma. The pine and fruity hop notes linger, but are well-balanced by the smooth, malty addition of European rye malts. Enjoy this stunning and multifaceted, yet mellow IPA.

Can from De Bierenwinkel Ede. Straight from can during a holiday hike, at De Ginkelse Heide. Color: Hazy golden, white head I presume? Aroma: Hoppy, some tropical and citrus fruit. Taste: Hoppy, orange, orangepeel, grapefruit zest. Grassy hop. Spicy hints of the used rye malt. Starting moderate to over moderate bitter, finishing above moderate to medium bitterness. Light sweetness. Quite smooth and quite dense mouthfeel, over medium body average carbonation. Dry-ish finish. Very nice.

Can at home. Bright yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, malt bitter, hop bitter and a distant hint of smoke somehow. Flavor is similar to the aroma: malts, malt bitterness, hop, bitter hops. I really like it, nice refreshing bitterness. Decent to medium body and carbonation. Very nice.

Thuis in de tuin uit een blikje. Prima brouwerij dit. Gouden kleur, licht troebel, beetje melkachtig. Geuren van mandarijn, grapefruit. Smaak heerlijk bitter, citrus. Ook wat zoetheid. Uitstekend!

Large foamy white head left a froth on an unclear pale gold body. Malt, confectionery & floral aroma. Medium to full bodied, lively with a smooth back. Bubble gum, yeast, biscuit, sweet citrus & hopped up tastes. Really enjoyable beer - Straightforward.

Can picked up from Saveur-Biere, webshop, Lille, France and consumed at home Friday 15th January 2021 listening to Steve Lamaq on 6Music about to start cooking Lamb Keema Saag Balti, from the Curry Guy cookbook, with Dal Makhani from Made in India cookbook. Pours hazy, mmhh... actually a murky, milky yellow/gold with a large creamy textured white coloured head. Very soft mouthfeel, dry, almost Indian Tonic touch, however the sweetness rather rules out that quite swiftly, this is good in fact very good for not being the usual bombastic in yer'face Nelson hit, it's really nice, dry, some grapefruit, hoppiness zips across the tongue. Really good.

Can, 0.355l. Aroma of orange, tangerine, resin, mango and cereals. Pours hazy dirty yellow color with medium sized frothy off-white head and sparkling appearance. Taste starts light to medium sweet grainy and juicy citrusy, following is bready, mild tropical fruity and herbal, mouthfeel is mild spicy, while finish is pretty bitter. Medium to full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Pure joy of true hoppiness...

Alpine hat sich mittlerweile zu einer meiner Lieblingsbrauereien gemausert, da gibts fast kein Bier, das nicht große Klasse ist. Das hier genauso, ich feiere das Pinien-Aroma, zum niederknien. Leicht harzig, bittersweet, etwas Frucht, geil.

Thick and quite dry, some citrus and other tropical stuff, very hoppy and a bit bitter. Not bad.
