American Pale Ale with Nelson Sauvin
We headed a little towards the West Coast with this pale ale... but ran out of gas around the Rocky Mountains. It isn't juicy or opaque... but neither is it a classic bitter-piney-caramely beer. The crisper profile allows the dankness of the Freestyle Nelson Sauvin to shine, bringing a more unique white-wine grape-leaning fruitiness than the usual hop combinations.
