Nelson Sauvin is an excellent dual purpose hop; providing both intense, distinct flavour characteristics as well as high alphas. An excellent all-rounder, this hop is able to produce big punchy Ales as well as subtle yet bitter Lagers. In a nutshell Nelson Sauvin can be described as a “quintessentially New Zealand” variety that has gained an international reputation in the speciality craft and seasonal beer market

28th September 2007. St Albans Beer Fest. Another rate from this fest where I had had quite a few before getting to this one. Light and crisp. Lingering hop aftertaste. Vinous. Clearly I enjoyed it - hope to try it again!
