Developed by the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research hop breeding program and released in 2000, Nelson Sauvin is a triploid variety bred from the New Zealand Smoothcone and a selected New Zealand male.
It is known for being one of the most unique hop varieties, displaying strong fruit and white wine aroma characteristics.
Pretty much as eccentric as a hop can get, this variety will find itself at home inside an American Pale Ale, or other such hop-forward beer.
