ast year Wai-iti, a new low alpha variety, (2.6% ’11/4.5% ’12) only came to the UK in pellet form. I liked it so ordered some leaf in this year to do a single hop brew. After brewday I discovered I had the opposite problem this time and only had a measly 2kg of leftover pellet so chucked that in fv and, after trading London Fields for the last existing 5kg, I dry hopped half the run of casks with leaf.

At the Brew Pub. Very slight haze on this gold beer, tiny white head. Palate is smooth and fresh and a little dry. Nice hop this Wai Iti. It has some bitterness, especially in the aftertaste. The dominant flavour is lime, there is also a little pine and a touch of tangy tropical fruits. Smooth finish with a tangy lime linger. Love the lime vibe!

Cask at the brewpub, London. Pours clear yellow with a fine, white froth head. Lovely tropical fruit aroma, light pee and grapefruit, hints of straw and grass. Light to medium sweet with lots of juicy fruits, dry straw, background pale malts. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Somewhat dry to finish with restrained resins, fresh straw and grass, dry citrus, grapefruit, melon. Quite clean. Very good.
