Nelson Sauvin has gained a reputation as a truly outstanding hop. A big punchy character of grapefruit and in particular, fresh crushed gooseberries. This is a big hitting beer.

On cask at the Salt Cot. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head and a slight haze. Nose - grapefruit and light banana. Taste - more of the same. Pithy edge to it. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - enjoyable and just what the current drinking population are after.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Hazy amber with a tight white head; tropical fruit aroma, but with a slightly musty feeling; clean sweet tropical fruit taste with a sharp grapefruit bitterness; but unfortunately a cloying sweet finish. Good in parts.
