Looking forward to trying it.

I've tried Nelson Sauvign in a Jazman beer, from memory it had a pronounced grape flavour

Jaz was kind enough to bring some back for me on his last trip to NZ. I've tried it a couple of times but rather than grape I detect more of a peach flavour. Definitely a delicate, almost floral aroma. Very nice in a summery lager.

Pacific Gem? I used that in a mongrel IPA recently, yet to taste it.

I've had one beer with it, I didn't notice any blackberry aroma.

Kai,
I've checked my notes and the IPA you tried at Pedro's was brewed at the end of July so it's no wonder the aroma was lacking. When it was fresher the aroma was definitely not blackberry, as is claimed by everything I've read, but it was certainly sweet with slight vanilla. Very pleasant and not overpowering.
I only used 25g at flameout. Next time I'd be tempted to use more.

I just picked up half a kilo of amarillo whilst in Canberra! :super:

Not sure if i'll use them all but i'll have fun trying. I might even be able to spare some if someone in sydney wants them.
