The magic of terroir—the environmental conditions, especially soil and climate, in which hops are grown and give a hop their unique flavour and aroma—continues to enthrall us at Tree House. To illustrate the difference between region and growing conditions, we have begun the Many Ways series, which seeks to brew single-hop beers with hops sourced from specific growing regions and farms. Part One contains Nelson Sauvin, grown exclusively by our friends at Freestyle Hops in the Upper Moutere region of New Zealand's South Island. This is not your grandfather's Nelson: It exhibits the modern ideal of Nelson with notes of tropical fruit, passion fruit, and punchy citrus with a gentle bitterness on the finish. This beer is simply wonderful.ABV 8.2%
