This single hop IPA showcases the rare Nelson Sauvin hop from New Zealand. Delightfully confusing aromas of citrus and mandarin oranges give way to an incredibly complex body of earth tones and marigolds. This is truly unlike any hop you’ve ever tasted.

Bottle at the Ipswich winter bottle share. Source James. Region #114. Pours cloudy yellow gold with a lasting quite large white head. Aroma of hops, citrus and tropical fruit, caramel and biscuit. Light sweetness, towards heavy bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Bitter citrus finish, good beer.

Bottle drunk 11/6/16.
Bright lemon-golden body is topped by a full, white head showing moderate to strong retention. High clarity.
Straightforward Nelson in the nose, but very nicely done, adding bright lemon, limestone, guava and wine-like minerality. It runs in to a lot of malt sweetness; big honey notes, with very light caramel and biscuity notes, as well. Some mild earthiness and no resin, thankfully, nor alcohol.
Very supple, malty body shows quite a bit of sugar still remaining. It’s not underattenuated, but certainly a lot sweeter than the New England IPAs I’m used to drinking (which, understandably, have to be a lot more dry to make up for the fact that they’re very low on IBUs). Anyways, the beer is still very nicely hopped with lots of wine character, lemon, cherry, strawberry and more limestone. Light earthiness and a touch of dry ash help soak up the malt. No alcohol or flaw.

Bomber. Pours a hazy golden/orange in color. Minimal white head and lacing. Aroma is intense. Starts off upfront with orange/grapefruit/citrus hops. Theres a bit of earthiness too... maybe even some onion. The taste is exceptional; a truly fruity, juicy, tropical hop explosion. Bitterness is well restrained for an IPA. Medium bodied and very smooth. I love this beer.
