A series of experimental hop extracts by the boffins at Freestyle Hops in NZ. Taking a Hazy NZ base, loaded with creamy Oats and soft Wheat Malt, hopped with Motueka, Rakau and Riwaka in a cold WP and DDH, then split four ways and infused with various Hop Kiefs. An experimentalist’s experiment where everything is mostly the same, except the Hop Kief used.
Kohia Nelson is harvest Nelson blended with dried passionfruit. Loaded with free thiols the intensity of passionfruit and tropical flavours is off the charts. Some low level banana and soft stone fruits like lychee play nicely in the background.

Can. Fairly hazy orange with ~cm of white head that lasts OK. Deep, brooding aroma of grass, white grapes starting to turn, lychees, passionfruit flowers, light bread. Moderately sweet at first with just enough presence - which is not a lot because the hop flavours are broad spectrum - stinky tropical fruit, citrus, floral and herbal bitter top notes that become more prominent toward the end. Very good. Haven't got a handle on this brewery at all.
