answer.unit: litres
answer.brewers_tips: Nelson is an amazing hop in the correct proportions. Too much and the beer will start to taste like onions and garlic.
answer.description: Nelson is a love it or hate it kinda hop. We are cool with that, if we wanted to keep everyone happy we would be brewing Fosters anyway. Sharp as a razor, this New Zealand hop slices its way through your taste buds and is brutally resinous, almost scraping the intense flavours of passion fruit along your poor tongue. There is a huge depth of tropical fruit flavour with astringent gooseberry balanced against the robust malt base. Throw another shrimp on the barbie mate and you are all set. New Zealand is near Austria, right?
