    saison taste vs. belgian taste

    Just bought a pound of nelson sauvin hops

    Ahh gotcha. Grest idea. Kind if what i was thinking. Simple malt bill, so i can really showcase the hops. One 60 minute addition to bitter, a few late boil additions for flavor and two heaping dry hop additions for that huge aroma. Simple straight forwars ipa goodness.
