Pronounced ‘ow-tear-roh-ah’, this Hooked On DDH IPA takes us on an exploration into New Zealand hops.
Riwaka and the Riwaka variety, Eggers, create a dank and heavy tropical base while Nelson elevates this with a light white grape touch, reminiscent of refreshing glasses of crisp Sauvignon Blanc, all while Motueka ties everything together with a fresh, zesty punch. A beautiful balance of herbal dankness and refined sophistication.
