First gold and Nelson Sauvin, sounds interesting, let us know how this one turns out.

Hopefully will be good. I did Aleman's Summer Ale with Styrians and Nelson Sauvin and John Alexanders Heritage Pale Ale with First Gold and Styrians, both excellent beers, so I thought I'd try this.

Yesterday I bottled a similar recipe which used Northern Brewer to bitter then Nelson Sauvin. Smells gorgeous :thumb: I have great hopes for this one.
