Nelson Sauvin single hop DDH IPA.
The New Zealand hop variety Nelson Sauvin is one of the most sought after by craft brewers worldwide. However, being grown in a small country such as NZ, with a total hop acreage smaller than the UK, its popularity is countered by low availability. We’d waited a long time to brew a single hop IPA with our small 2019 allocation burning a metaphorical hole in our cold store, and what better time than the start of a new patrons series devoted to showcasing our favourite varieties individually? We built a grist of super pale malt, wheat, malted and flaked oats, backed with a touch of maltodextrin for extra robustness. We added our first Nelson Sauvin as a 5g/l whirlpool hopping addition before dry hopping over 3 additions to a total of 26g/l through fermentation. As the name suggests, this hop contributes unique flavours of sauvignon grape to the beer, as well as distinct notes of gooseberry, lychee and elderflower, a hint of earthiness and some stone fruit to complement the esters of our house IPA yeast.

Pours a cloudy, orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and prominent white grape and gooseberry aromas, with some lighter tropical accents. Taste is a great balance between light biscuity malt and quite vibrant, slightly acidic, white grape and gooseberry notes, as well as just a hint of mango. Finishes with a light bitterness and lightly acidic white grape and gooseberry notes lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
A great Nelson IPA that features all the typical white grape and gooseberry notes, as well as some mango, which I haven't really noticed in Nelson IPAs as much until now. It actually works pretty great with the lightly acidic quality of the white grape/gooseberry notes though, as it has a bit of that character itself.

Pours a hazy light orange with high, soapy head.
Smell is citrusy with notes of gooseberries, melon, white grapes and grapefruit.
Taste is crisp and fruity, with notes of citrus, gooseberries, grapes and a hint of dankness. Hints of sweetness and white wine, and a moderate bitterness. This is a perfect showcase of Nelson.
Mouthfeel is medium, soft and pillowy with good carbonation.
Overall, a terrific Nelson-centric IPA, hitting all the notes it should.
