Packed with complex, provocative Zappa hops along with Sabro and Medusa for a total hop load of nearly six pounds per barrel. All three varietals belong to the Neomexicanus family, a hop subspecies native to New Mexico and Colorado. These distinctly American hops, characterized by low alpha acids and high oil content, make for a dank, citrusy, expressive DIPA experience.

Can shared in London - many thanks to Fergus. Pours unclear orange-gold with a creamy, white crown. Tasty stuff, with nice juicy citrus character, light rindy bitterness. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Light piney bitterness in the finish, fresh oranges. Very good beer.

Tap at Brody’s American Taproom, Den Haag. Poured a hazy golden colour with a big frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus fruits, pineapple, vanilla. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, juicy fruit, creamy vanilla, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.
