We Play Nice is a 6.5% IPA crafted to highlight Luna front and centre. We paired it with Citra and Mosaic for a solid, proven base to let Luna shine with its fruity profile!
Luna is a new hop variety from Hop Products Australia and in collaboration with Barth Haas we've been asked to put it through its paces in an IPA. Of course we said yes! We paired it with Citra and Mosaic for a solid proven base to allow Luna to strut its fruity stuff!
What can you expect from this new hop?
Lush mango, dark berries & blackcurrant, sweet orange & grapefruit, along with a hint of spicy citrus complexity. It’s expressive, layered, and ridiculously juicy. Yep, it’s the perfect fit for a soft, pillowy Verdant NEIPA base.

Punchy Stonefruit goodness with mango and peach, touch of apricot, citrus layers of grapefruit and lemon, nice and juicy, touch of berry interplay, sweet malts with a dank hoppy finish. Very nice.

On tap at The Star & Garter, Bromley. Grapefruit, peach, passionfruit & papaya aromas. Taste is a fair mix of the above. Punchy bittersweet fruits. Good stuff.
