Hop Pellets Nelson Sauvin NZ 50g

Named after the Sauvignon Blanc wine grape, Nelson Sauvin was first developed and released in New Zealand in 2000. Its unique and eccentric characteristics make it a popular choice among craft and home brewers, despite being considered too wild by major breweries. This versatile hop is ideal for American-style Pale Ales, offering complex aromas, flavors, and smooth bitterness. Use it wisely and carefully when brewing, as its low cohumulone levels ensure a well-balanced bitterness. Derived from Smoothcone, Nelson Sauvin's oil profile adds depth and complexity to any brew.
