Together with Other Half we've created a unique expression of a hop that's new to us, Nectaron, and a hop we're familiar with in T90 form, Motueka. Both hops in v14 came to us in the form of newly available Cryo, a process of pelletizing that uses extreme cold to freeze and strip away the majority of the leaf matter, leaving behind the oily, resinous and densely flavoured centre of the hop flowers, concentrating the aroma intensity in each pellet. We're thrilled to restart this series with hop products new to the UK

Can thanks to my bro, picked up at Rosemount Market. It pliyes murky golden with a decent frothy off - white head. The aroma is fresh, green, dank, spring onions, ripe tropical fruits, mango, peach, orange creamsicle, juicy and bright. The taste is slick, thick, juicy, pulpy, ripe, touch of dryness, mango, peachy, nectarine, melon, solero, weedy, dank, sappy, resin, nip of booze, floury bread and some peppery spice with a drying finish. Medium+ body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Ripe, green and fruity vibes. Nice thick hazy boii.

Rated at 73 Enid Street - Cloudwater London. Soft, fluffy and massively hoppy with loads of tropical fruits and citrus, pine, floral notes, dankness, mild bitterness and oniony notes. Quite intensely hopped, yet crushable and tasty. Nice one.

Can at home picked up from CW online. A thick hazed golden orange coloured pour with a lasting odd white cap. Aroma is nice big dank hop, onion, green mango, creamy oats, with a twist of sharp lime. Classic dank on the nose, yeast and hops interplay. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, rounded wheat and slick oats, nice classic dank, green mango, papaya, funky citrus, lime, creamy, light onion. Palate is semi sweet creamy, moderate carbonation. Really nice stuff.

Draft (12 Pounds for a half!!!) at Beer Gonzo, Coventry. Poured a murky yellow orange colour with little life. The aroma is grainy malt, tropical citrus and light grassy hops. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet with a dry, fresh, grainy malt, subtle orange tangerine citrus, dry, dank grassy resin, woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. A super beer, but I won’t be ordering another at this price which wasn’t listed on the board before I ordered. There are limits and I’ve reached mine.

Can at home, from HOTM online, 29/08/23. Murky orange with a good sized lasting light egg shell white crown. Nose is ripe tropical fruit esters, grass, orange zest, creamy malt base, papaya, mandarin, pine nip, trace of hop spice. Taste comprises grapefruit, pine resin, just a hint of coconut shavings, papaya, mango flesh, guava, raw pineapple, Um Bongo splashdown. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous hop bitterness allied to a light boost. Solid hop shizzle ... great return for this legendary series.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry and has a good fine minerally crisp bite. Light smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. The Nectaron and Motueka hops bring a stinging hop spice. Crisp pine. Good peachy stone fruits with crisp floral citrus and a little lime. Savoury hop skunk runs underneath. Crisp hop spicy finish. Yeah, a nice full on dipa this one.

440ml can. Murky golden, creamy white head. Aroma of big dank and tropical fruity notes, peach, pineapple, passionfruit. Taste is dank, Nectaron (peaches) and Motueka (lime) are there but hiding behind the massive weedy/herbal notes, tropical mango, passionfruit, pineapple, etc. Full bodied, smooth, only a small hint of booze. Superb DIPA. Extremely happy to see this legendary series return.

On tap at 73 Enid St. Pours murky yellow gold with a decent white cap that sticks around. Aroma is big punchy resinous hop, ripe juicy tropical fruit, bit of dankness, touch of garlic. Taste is a resinous hit then the juicy tropical fruit, cantaloupe melon fresh fruitiness takes over before a bitter sticky resin hop finish. Hint of booze burn but only a smidge. Cracking DIPA
