I just returned from the LHBS with a new hop, Nelson Sauvin. Here is the desription.
2008 crop. Alpha 11%, Beta 6.5% This hop displays fresh crushed gooseberries, a descriptor used for Sauvignon Blanc and has the unique ability to impart a distinctive cool climate white wine fruitiness. Also displays a bold hop character.
Has anyone brewed with this or heard anything about it from other homebrewers? I think I will be using this as some late additions and dry hop on 1/2 of my next batch of Centennial blonde.
