Hemispheres collide. Southern hops meet northern ambition, unleashing waves of tropical lychee and citrus flavors from Superdelic, Riwaka, and Nelson Sauvin that dance across 90 degrees of latitude.

Pale and a bit of haze, with a decent head and nice effervescence. Nice, bright NZ hop on the nose, full of fir tips, peach, pear, and a little bit of kumquat. On the palate, really nice. Fairly robust pale malt, blending well with a rich hop bitterness and an abundance of flavours akin to the aroma. This shit is 3 1/2 months old - I almost didn't buy it - and it's this good. Nice and fuck.

16 oz. can, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma reveals that wonderful NZ white wine-like hop tang—especially that Riwaka—with some melony citrus, and oily pine. Flavour is very vibrant, with tons of gooseberry-like hoppiness, melony hop tang, some citrus, a bit of pine, and a very thin biscuity malt base. I’m getting the Riwaka above all, but there’s other elements in there as well. Beautifully constructed, wonderfully vibrant, eminently drinkable.
