Nothing But Nelson
McIlhenney Brewing

Big nelson hop flavour. Not freshest tap,still very good. Enjoyed at the source. You can taste the nelson clearly, west coast east coast. Welcome back, Nelson.

True WCIPA goodness featuring various Nelson derivatives. This delivers on all WC fronts including dank white grape notes, resin, and bitterness. The most aggressive Nelson IPA I've ever had as memory recalls, and that is an outstanding thing

 

Sometimes I feel like I'm Ray Kinsella. When the wind blows at night w/ my window slightly open, I can hear the faint sounds of: "If you brew it, he will come." Who is he? Clean, classic, never overstated crepuscular bronze & half a finger of skeleton bone head. Aromas of white wine, gooseberry, red grapefruit, and peppercorns. Say hello to the night! Can't help but think of David roaming the streets of Santa Cruz, murder capital of the world, bent by Max's control. The mouthfeel is silky up front, prickly mid-finish, and drying on the back end. California is excellent when it comes to West Coast IPAs. One thing about living in Santa Cruz I never could stomach; all the damn vampires.

 

Sweet and piney tropical hoppy, slightly malty, Nelson white wine grape, and a piney-hoppy nose on this one! Taste follows exactly with a smooth, piney hoppy bitter finish. This finishes a touch softer than I was expecting...I like my westies to finish a little crispier/snappier. This is delicious! I was just looking for a little more pure Nelson hop expression. Can't wait to do a side-by-side with Nelson (Its What We Like Here) from Green Cheek!
