A double dry-hopped hazy IPA loaded to the brim with southern hemisphere hops. A trinity of Riwaka, Motueka and Nelson Sauvin interplay for a complex and satisfying drinking experience. Expect aromas of mixed citrus fruits supported by subtle herbs. A plethora of flavours come through; apricot and orange giving way to lemon and lime with background notes of basil and figs. A healthy dosing of oats lead to a permanent haze and thick mouthfeel

DDH NZ IPA. Nelson sauvin, riwaka, motueka.

Picked up from Sainsbury’s in Warwick. Good stuff overall,
Plump tropical fruits, low bitterness, mild dankness, some peach, melon, nectarine. A little bitterness would be nice,, but it’s a very decent brew overall.

440ml can at Tŷ Seidr, Aberystwyth. Poured a hazy yellow golden colour with a big lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light tropical citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a fresh, smooth, dry, mineral, light citrus, light pepper spice, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.
