Just the one hop, but a lot of it! Added at four stages for complexity of flavour housed in a pale golden brew. Powerfully floral. Dry-hopped version available in limited numbers.
English hops are great, but sometimes you need that extra punch that New Zealand's can offer, and Nelson Sauvin is the punchiest of the lot as far as we're concerned. Even more so if you have one of our dry-hopped casks. All our single-hop brews use Maris Otter Pale malt and nothing else, so there's nothing to distract you from the hops.

Cask@Reading Beer Festival 2012. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is big NS in a quite acidic way. Flavour is fruity, floral, mildly soapy notes. Quite ok for the flavour, but the aroma is a bit harsh.

Cask conditioned at Reading BF 2012. Orange gold colour lasting bubbly white head. Very tasty hoppy beer good sting on finish. Got the slight sweaty sox thing. Some raw green barky earthyness to it. Lits of Nelson thrown at it. Decent.
