South Africa has recently come out with some very intriguing hop varieties and we were able to get our hands on some. This is the first in a series of South African Hopped IPAs. The “African Queen” variety used in this IPA has characteristics of berries, stone fruit, and melons, with the presence of a slight chilli spice. Combined with a malt base of Pilsner, Wheat, and Oats, the resulting beer is well rounded, smooth, fruity, and super crushable.

Pours hazy yellow with modest foam. Soft hops on the nose, slight vegetal but also some good citrus that is slightly saccharine unlike your usual IPA, with oregano hints. Flavour is a very chewy kumquat, slight pineapple. Smooth, full. Not bad.
