\"Anchorage<\/a>Anchorage Brewing Co.\u2019s Nelson Sauvin<\/a>, one of the two Rare Beer Club<\/a> featured beers this month, is brewed with 100% Nelson Sauvin hops\u2014a particularly forward variety originating from New Zealand\u2019s Plant & Food Research back in 2000. The variety comes from the New Zealand \u201cSmooth Cone\u201d hop, itself an offspring of old-school California Cluster.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of Nelson Sauvin hops emphasize a focus on \u201cfresh crushed gooseberries\u201d (a common descriptor for New Zealand\u2019s Sauvignon Blanc). The hops also can include tropical character along the lines of lychee, passion fruit, lime, mango… Nelson Sauvin was one of the major early impact hops, and it can bring exceptional potency and zest into a beer.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re digging the Anchorage Nelson Sauvin, where its pungent qualities are set alongside the impact of Brettanomyces<\/em>, there are at least a couple other examples highlighting these hops (with greater availability). Alpine Beer Co.\u2019s Nelson IPA is one of the key options with larger distribution, while 8Wired\u2019s HopWired IPA is packed with Nelson Sauvin alongside various other New Zealand varieties. Mikkeller\u2019s also featured a variety of Nelson-Sauvin-y releases.<\/p>\n
