Double IPA brewed in collaboration with Freestyle Hops, First Round Pick is a showcase of New Zealand hop innovation. Built entirely with Freestyle-grown hops, this Double IPA puts the spotlight on Lilikoi, an exciting new experimental variety featured prominently in the dry hop. Layers of passionfruit, citrus, tropical fruit, and fresh hop intensity are supported by a soft, pillowy body, offering an early look at a hop with the potential to become a future standout.

Pours a hazy, banana-creme yellow, with mid-sized head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavors follow. Soft mouthfeel. Mild to moderate hop bitterness at the finish.
