TASTING NOTES
👀 HOW’S IT LOOK?
Opaque hazy yellow body with a dense, long lasting off white head on top.

👃 WHAT AM I SMELLING?
So much hop character! So much fruitiness… a white grape note from the start with layers of pineapple and lime.

👅 HMMM, THAT TASTES LIKE…
The flavor picks up right where the aroma was, more white grape (coming from the copious amounts of Nelson Sauvin hops used), pineapple (from the thiolized yeast strain) and lime (thanks to Motueka hops) all coming together with a restrained bitterness that is just noticeable enough to keep the beer from feeling sweet. Hints of dank hop character under all of the fruit. Hoppy but so very well balanced.

😋 THERE’S A PARTY IN MY MOUTH!
Medium body with a firm carbonation level. The finish is clean, rolling into a light crusty bread flavor right at the finish.

🍻 TL;DR
A happy hazy that celebrates so many tropical flavors of the South Pacific, with a white wine grape complexity that rewards you beyond the friendly face.

-Matt Akin, Head Brewer

LABEL TEXT

When brewing a refreshing Hazy IPA for warmer days, we normally pluck hops from from the Pacific Northwest – but this can is exclusively hopped with their lupulin cousins from the extremely Pacific Southeast instead. New Zealand! Front and center is the famous Nelson Sauvin hop with some amazingly unique traits. Nelson is a bit of an odd bird, having flavors that range from tropical fruit, to fresh crushed gooseberries and even sauvignon blanc wine grapes. We hope you enjoy this hazy in whichever season your hemisphere is treating you to.
