Our rotating, single-hop Pale Ale highlights a unique hop in each batch and more often than not, that means a varietal yet to be fully brought to market. As part of our participation in the Freestyle Hops Research Collective we recently had an opportunity to preview a handful of advanced experimental hop varieties. At the table one jumped out at us immediately and distinctly - that was Manilita and we instantly expressed our interest and excitement to our friends in New Zealand. Still early in its development we were thankful to bring in any quantity but this time it was just enough to make a scaled down batch. There’s a pome fruit creaminess at the base but it pops with mango, papaya, citrus high notes as well.

Brewery draught, 10/26/23. Heavily hazy, brass-bronze. Medium, off-white head, moderate retention. Rich peach skin, honey-like malt, lime accents and straightforward tropical fruit. Surprisingly light on the spiciness and only a bit of mineral. Kind of like a Motueka Lite. But there's nothing wrong with it, that said. Soft, malty, good honey-like malt with high attenuation. Lime and gentle melon with a bit of citrus and mild tropical fruit. Peppery finish though very easygoing. Low bitterness. Clean. Super light, easygoing and drinkable.
