When we first opened our doors we were faced with a nasty and niggling Nelson problem; it was our favorite hop in the world, we had a hard time getting it, and when we did get some, we hated the stuff we were getting. Fast forward what feels like a millennia and we have a new problem, access to too much amazing Nelson. With Imaginator we decided to load up with our two favorite selections of Nelson from two different farms and blend them together for what we think is our ultimate all Nelson beer, a beer so Nelson it might as well be pointing its grotesquely yellow index finger at you with a mocking "Ha-Ha!" as you sip from the glass. We picked these Nelson hops to exude specific qualities which we think will be painfully obvious when you take your first whiff and get bombarded by notes of super ripe passion fruit, the cattiest of Riesling grapes, papaya nectar, guava juice, bright gooseberries, white peaches, lychee gummies, and a pervasive note that can only be described as petrol and lanolin in the best possible way.

On tap at Fieldwork Berkely
A: Pours hazy golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a firm layer and laces beautifully.
S: Intense green resinous notes like sticking your nose in the bag of hops, exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, citrus, pine, Southern Hem diesel, a touch floral, biscuity malt, and a little caramel sweetness.
T: Citrus, grapefruit and lemon, slightly dank herbal notes, exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, pineapple, gooseberry, passion fruit, white grape, papaya, white peach, and a touch of guava, faint Southern Hem diesel, a bit floral, biscuity malt, and a little caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.
O: I'm always a big fan of the intensity that Fieldwork gives their hoppy beers. Here they kinda let the green resinous zesty side of Nelson take the lead here while still pulling out some really nice backing fruity notes.
