A Hazy IPA with Citra, Rakau & Bru-1

"Meadows is dry hopped with an interesting hop combo of Citra, Rakau and Bru-1. Loads of fruitiness from Citra and Bru-1 with Rakau bringing that NZ funk and dankness with some sweet stone fruit notes."

(Draft at Beerlovers Bar, Antwerpen, 18 Sep 2025) Cloudy yellow colour with frothy, white head. Fruity nose with orange, peaches, white bread and floral hops. Fruity taste with notes of citrus, orange, pineapple, mango, passionfruit, white bread and a balanced citric/floral bitterness. Creamy oatmeal softness. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Fresh and juicy. Very nice.

Can ordered from Left Field Beer. Pale hazy orange. Foamy white head. Aroma is relatively restrained. Fruit. Delicate. Light vinous and herbal elements. Underlying vanilla porridge. Flavourwise it's slightly more bitter with a sour edge. Stone fruit. Citrus. Herbal. Latterly a vinous bite. Gains some sugary sweetness as I drink on. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Easy going NEIPA.

On tap at the Beerlovers Bar, Antwerp, Belgium. A hazy/murky golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Sweet, hoppy, peach, pineapple, tropical fruit action. Not a bad effort.

On tap at Christianssands Brygghus. Unclear, orange juice looking with a mostly fruity aroma and flavor. Nice, but a bit gentle. Soft bitterness. Except it's a bit gentle, it's a fine brew. 747414 250830
