Nelson Sauvin, Simcoe, Wai-iti
SOMA are making some of the very best haze in the game at the moment so it was awesome to have them down to the brewery to cook up a Double IPA. We incorporated some of SOMA's techniques so this boasts a high level of chit malt combined with a chloride heavy water profile for a full but fluffy DIPA.
Late pick Nelson Sauvin leads the way alongside our hand selected Simcoe and then topped up with Wai-iti hop juice for green fruit pastilles, pineapple chunks and a splash of lime.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light malts, a light creamy sweetness. Hops bring a fair hop spice nip, light cooling pine and mild undercurrent of skunk. Nice to have Wai Iti up front - slightly floral citrus and stone fruits, very light peach and tangerine. Simcoe and Nelson are back fillers here. Light finish. Nicely done. A well layered and bright dipa.
