Product details
Brand: Yakima Chief Hops
This cross between New Zealand Smoothcone and wild hops makes for a versatile brewing ingredient. A high alpha and distinctly fruity aroma make Nelson Sauvin hops totally unique. A bright aroma of gooseberry, grapefruit and citrus pack a punch in beer styles like APAs, IPAs, and even some lagers.
The alpha acid range of 12% to 13% offers a great bittering quality that is balanced by the intense fruitiness. Other regional varietals like Pacifica and Pacific Jade can sometimes be substituted for Nelson Sauvin hops if needed. Taste this varietal in craft brews like Hello, My Name is Ingrid Imperial IPA from BrewDogs.
Alternatives
Aroma alternatives with wine-like or citrus notes; neither exactly reproduces Nelson’s gooseberry character. Use the alpha-acid percentage printed on the actual package for bittering calculations. Late additions and dry hopping should be matched by flavor, not alpha acids alone.
