The Nelson Sauvin IPA from Sawmill Brewery is a captivating and aromatic beer that showcases the remarkable Nelson Sauvin hop. This IPA delivers a harmonious blend of tropical fruit flavors and a refreshing bitterness, creating a delightful drinking experience. The aroma of this beer is an intense blast of tropical fruits, primarily passion fruit, guava, and pineapple, with hints of citrus such as grapefruit and lime. Floral notes of elderflower and jasmine add an elegant touch to the overall bouquet. On the palate, the beer bursts with juicy tropical fruit flavors that mirror the aroma, providing a delightful balance between sweetness and bitterness. A subtle spicy and herbal character, reminiscent of white pepper and thyme, adds complexity and depth to the flavor profile. The appearance of the Nelson Sauvin IPA is a golden amber color with a slight haze, topped by a medium to high, white and frothy head that leaves a pleasant lacing on the glass. This beer's dry and crisp finish makes it an excellent pairing for grilled chicken or fish, spicy Thai or Indian dishes, soft cheeses like brie or camembert, and fruit-based desserts.
