Extra pale ale with moderate bitterness but packed with tons of exotic, fruity flavours and aromas. Featuring heaps of Columbus hops late in the boil and Nelson Sauvin during fermentation, the beer is named in honour of Admiral Lord Nelson, of the Battle and Christopher Columbus, Cape Trafalgar being close to Cadiz, from where the latter embarked on many of his explorations of the New World. With its unique blend of New World hops it’s well worth battling your way to the bar for a pint.

Pours a clear straw gold colour with a small white head. Aroma is light malt, grapefruit and grassy hops. A bitter grassy and citrus taste but with a muddy stagnant water flavour. Resinous pine and grassy hop bitternes in a long bitter finish.
