Our hand selected lot of Nelson Sauvin from @freestylefarm in New Zealand, is so special this year, that we can't stop wanting to make more and more beers with em! So, here's a simple recipe of Pilsner Malt and Nelson hops to showcase it best! We went lighter on the bitterness, doubled up the whirlpool hopping, dry hopped at the start of fermentation, and then again at the end of fermentation. Flavor profile? Think Oro Blanco grapefruit zest, fresh cut kiwi, and Sauv Blanc

Clean and vibrant
Enjoyed at brewery and canned
Easy drinking but absolutely stocked with flavor
Hard to accomplish but incredibly approachable yet complex
Aroma of grapefruit, orange, young pine at first
Plenty of pleasant bitter to finish
No butter in the mouth at all

Sweet Nelson hoppy, white wine grape, and piney dank nose on this one! Taste follows with a clean, tropical hoppy and piney dank bitter swallow. This is so well-balanced and tasty...great use of Nelson in a westie. This is fantastic!

On tap at Green Cheek in Costa Mesa, CA.
Personally, I think the Words “Green Cheek and Nelson” would go together like “Candice Swanepoel and like, anything.” But this one here is not speaking to me like said African Supermodel in daisy dukes (or even a trash bag). It’s just there, like the nerd at the roller party who was man enough to show up, but still sat in the corner without skates on. Good attempt, but maybe one day things will get better.
Peace.
