A Hazy DIPA with Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Southern Cross & Citra Incogntio.
"A long time ago we had a Hazy DIPA called Moondance. Since then, a lot has changed in our processes and techniques, I'd like to think we've gathered a lot more knowledge about brewing as well. I took the same hop combo and wanted to see how it works now, 16 months later. Nelson Sauvin in the whirlpool, Citra Incognito in the knockout and then dry hopped with Nelson, Motueka & Southern Cross."

Can ordered from Left Field Beer. Hazy pineapple yellow-gold. Foamy white head. Aroma has juicy citrus with a sour edge that has a tart tingle. Underlying creamy porridge. Flavourwise we have a sweet juicy core with a dry bitterness over the top and sour edge. Big and fruity. Citrus and vinous notes. Underlying vanilla porridge. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Good stuff.

Aus der Dose (canned 06.2025/bbe 31.01.2026) im 2025-08 getrunken. Dieses trübe, gelbe Ale kommt mit leicht harzigen, aber auch schönen Südfrüchten daher. Der Hopfeneinfluss ist schon kräftig, aber hier stimmt die tolle Balance zwischen Aroma und Bitterkeit und dann der hervorragende eingebundene hohe Alkoholgehalt.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head that doesn't persist. Light crisp palate, a mild dryness. Light bodied pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine. Mild but persistent hop spice. A little perfumey ripe lemon in the citrus. Whisper of black pepper. Mild grape. Light finish. Nice clean fruity dipa. Long if mild hop spice linger. Very quaffable.

440ml can. Hazy, dark yellow-ish to orange, golden colour with average, firm, dense, frothy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Citrusy fruity and minimally grassy, hoppy aroma, sweet-ish, wheaty, pale and oaty, malty background, overall rather unspecific fruitiness with predominantly citrusy aspects. Taste is citrusy fruity hoppy, pale, wheaty and minimally oaty malty basis, hints of lemon, pear, melon.
Creamy texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, medium to fine, dense, mildly prickly carbonation.
Harmonious and homogeneous - quite solid but not really exciting.
