We brewed this Hazy IPA to celebrate our friendship with the wonderful people at Freestyle Farms and showcase the incredible hops they grow in New Zealand. Inspired by the small but mighty Kei trucks that transport the freshly cut hop bines across the hop yard at harvest time, this beer is seemingly overloaded with Riwaka and Motueka but handily delivers tons of Southern Hemisphere goodness. A teetering payload of vibrant stone fruit, penetrating citrus and luscious tropical fruit nearly topples out of the glass at every turn. Raise a glass with us in honor of these passionate folks whose hops keep blowing our minds year, after year, after year.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 12, 2024. Aroma is super fruity and hop forward with lots of passion fruit, guava, gooseberry, lychee and tropical citrus. Lighter dank, oily resin notes. Light cracker malt and alcohol notes. Pours a hazy, dull, golden straw color with a medium large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes to the edges where it lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is fairly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Medium bitterness and light alcohol notes. Fairly strong juicy hop notes. Lots of passion fruit, guava, lychee, gooseberry and tropical citrus. Hints of stone fruit and dank, oily resin notes. Dank hop notes longer a bit into the finish. Mouthfeel is medium full bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a great hazy IPA. A bit sweet in the malt notes, but the hops are on point. This is the exact hop profile, both in flavor and aroma that I enjoy. Such a great expression of New Zealand hops.
