Hoppy Blinder pays tribute to those strong-willed characters whose mere presence commands the room; a beer packed with so much hop power that it will blur your vision and lock your focus entirely on the palate. Let yourself be drawn in by the silhouette of a mind consumed by hops, and step into a sensory labyrinth you won’t want to escape.

In the glass, it shows a bright, pale golden color while showcasing the heavily hazy and thick appearance true to the New England style, topped with a dense and creamy white head. The nose is a masterclass in complexity due to a unique hop blend: Simcoe’s piney backbone sets the stage for the innovative Dolcita and Rakau combo, unleashing a massive aromatic spectrum ranging from peach, apricot, and plum to exotic notes of coconut, caramelized banana, honeydew melon, and Valencia orange, finished with subtle hints of lime. On the palate, it is a pure game of textures—full-bodied and velvety, it masterfully hides its 8.5% ABV while offering a luscious, juicy bitterness with a deeply fruity finish.

A bold, multi-layered Double NEIPA crafted with the sharp personality needed to conquer the most demanding hopheads. The perfect excuse to sit back, unwind, and let yourself be blinded by the power of wild hops.

Malts: Barley malt, oat malt and flaked oats.
Hops: Nectaron, Simcoe and Rakau.
Doble Dryhopping: Nectaron, Simcoe and Rakau.

Pours hazy pale yellow with a white head. Aroma is lychee, lemony malts and phenolic. Taste is chalky and lemony. Slick palate.

Next one, please!
