    I was blown away by NEBCO's coriolis nelson sauvin DIPA over the summer. Notes of tangerine, honeydew, lime, guava and light musk. It was just one of the most interesting and pleasant hop profiles I've experienced. Much better than citra IMO. So are they're any shelf beers or easy to trade for beers which highlight this hop?

    Widmer Nelson DIPA. It's not too in your face with the Nelson, but you can taste it and is a great beer fresh.
    Anchor Humming, real nice beer, it's their Fall seasonal, you could probably still get it, but it may not be super fresh at this point.

    Widmer Drifter as well - even though it's not exclusively NS, you can tell the role they play in the strawberry like flavor of this beer - and that nasty summit flavor doesn't make itself known, so there can't be too much of that one in there.

    Coriolis was a gem. Two growlers worth wasn't enough!

    Not that I would know, but wouldn't Napa Smith use them?

    Anchor Humming Ale.

    I haven't had a chance to try it yet, though.

    It's been my experience that you are much better off avoiding anything Hermitage.

    Big fan of the hops too....not enough beers utlizing them, IMO. I discovered them through New Belgium's Spring Seasonal Dig, so hoping NB continues with that one.
