This is one EXTREME hop!!
Description: Described during selection as “breathtaking” Nelson Sauvin has the unique ability to impart a distinctive cool climate white wine “fruitiness”.
A hop that requires judicious application in the brew house, this truly unique dual-purpose variety can be used to produce big punchy Ales as well as subtle yet bitter Lagers.
The fruitiness may be a little overpowering for the un-initiated, however those with a penchant for bold hop character will find several applications for this true brewer's hop.
Some describe the aroma as "Fresh Crushed Gooseberries"
Typical Beer Styles: Everything from American Pale Ales to Super Premium Lagers, or specialty seasonals.
Possible Substitutions: I don't think there is a hop out there like it, sorry.
Although these hops are not yet "Certified" organic, they are pesticide and spray free.
Typical Alpha Acid: 11 - 13%
Country of Origin: New Zealand
