question: What is a good beer pairing for Crab cakes with lemon cream and herb dipping sauce?
answer: A great choice for Crab cakes with lemon cream and herb dipping sauce is Nelson Sauvin (Single Hop IPA Series – 2011.). Here's the recipe:
  This Single Hop IPA Series – 2011. features a complex malt bill including Extra Pale (6.38 kilograms), Crystal 150 (0.13 kilograms), and Caramalt (0.25 kilograms). The hopping schedule uses Nelson Sauvin (37.5grams @ start), and Nelson Sauvin (50grams @ end) for balanced bitterness and aroma. Nelson is an amazing hop in the correct proportions. Too much and the beer will start to taste like onions and garlic.
