With “Big Beers” long-lasting grip on South African hop varieties finally coming to an end, we were able to snag some of these vibes and whip up something special and unique. A hazy IPA exclusively dry-hopped using African Queen and Southern Star, with notes of blueberries, stone fruit and pineapple.

Russel Brewing Hazy South African IPA 5% Saw this on sale and when I realized they were from Canada, I had to get at least one of their cans! Nice golden orange haze with decent foam, the juicy hop bouquet is a bit subdued. Is that the South African hops or age? Mostly orange julep type juicy aroma. The taste is the same but has a somewhat astringent finish and at times I even get hints of butteriness. Long in the tooth ok, fresh it’s probably good. Body is a bit light for the style in my book but a decent beer from a new to me brewery.
