A handful of hop varieties pack such appealing aromatics that brewing with them is like cheating. We named our ever-changing series of IPAs “Cheater Hops” in their honor. We are honest brewers, that’s why we can admit when we cheat!

Riwaka almost cheats too much... this New Zealand variety can overwhelm a beer with diesel-dank-grapefruit aromatics. We paired it with Simcoe and concentrated Simcoe Cryo® to restrain the more aggressive notes, providing balance with notes of mango, orange, and pine.
