I did some research on some recipes but it seems this hop is pretty new to a lot of north americans. I figure I'd come to the RIGHT place and ask about your experiences/thoughts/recipes etc....
I'm thinking a hop forward beer, but any other suggestions welcome!

Good Day, So far All I have is a data sheet http://www.nzhops.co.nz/varieties/nelson_sauvin.html
Sounds like a Fruity, Smooth bitterness hop, good or Pale Ales and Lagers.

Squared,
I think any IPA recipe would do? Given that the hop has a Chardonnay like flavor? I think that you should showcase that? A Single Malt And Shingle Hop (SMASH) might be in order? I have not brewed these recipes!
Nelson Sauvin hops bear the name of their closest aroma descriptor, Sauvignon Blanc grapes - "crushed gooseberry" is the term most commonly used.

Thanks people. Yeah I am familiar with its profile "on paper" but wondering how it translates over to a brewed batch, thats all
Bob, I have to agree, it definitely needs to be showcased then I can actually figure out the hop.
Since you went ahead a nd posted a recipe that actually does look decent enough, I might as well give 'er a go.

Squared,
Get yourself a Drifter Pale Ale from Widmeer Brothers Brewing. That will give you a good idea what this hop can do.
