Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for STEADY ROLLING NELSON
◎ Appearance
Pours a bright, hazy golden straw with excellent clarity despite the suspension of fine particles. A soft, pillowy white head forms and maintains good Schaumhaftung across the glass. The carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, characteristic of a naturally conditioned pale ale.
◌ Aroma
The nose is immediately expressive and hop-forward, with the signature white-wine and gooseberry character of Nelson Sauvin hops taking centre stage. Fresh lime zest and ripe tropical stone fruit layer beneath, creating a complex and inviting aromatic profile. The overall character is clean and refined, with no off-notes or oxidation.
◐ Taste
Light to medium-bodied on the palate, with a smooth, juicy sweetness that balances the crisp, gently resinous bitterness. The beer drinks cleanly and approachably, with the tropical and citrus notes from the nose carrying through the mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the hop character to express fruitiness rather than harshness.
◑ Finish
The finish is refreshingly dry with lingering notes of white grape and citrus that fade gradually. A gentle, resinous dryness persists without astringency, leaving the palate clean and ready for the next sip.
Serve & Enjoy
How to get the most out of STEADY ROLLING NELSON
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
