“This DDH Hazy DIPA was double dry-hopped with Yakima Chief Citra, mid harvest Freestyle Nelson, Strata and Riwaka SubZero Hop Kief. Notes of pineapple, grapefruit, passion fruit and melon. Soft, smooth and juicy – this is one dangerously drinkable DIPA!”

Glassware: IPA.

Appearance: Murky light pastel orange with a fluffy two finger head forming on top. Decent retention and healthy lace work on the glass.

Aroma: Full on fruit salad vibes. Tonnes of mixed citrus (flesh, rind and oils), equally large amounts of tropical fruit and stonefruit. A rather notable darkness as well…gotta be the Strata hops coming through. Slightly weedy, resinous, tart berries/green grape, some nectar fruit sweetness opening up as it settles. Not much on the malt front – a bit chalky, crusty. Solid nose.

Flavour: Much spicier and dank than we’d anticipated. A hint of warmth from the booze heating things up. Still ultra smooth and fruity though. Again, lots of citrus character, stonefruit and nectar fruits. The tropical sweetness has dropped out a little but the lush evergreen, dank and weedy/herbal spice is there to fill in. Nice shift into the dank, dry and resinous finish.

Mouthfeel: Light and aerated with a notable effervescence. Mild-medium body and an intermittent 8.2% ABV.

Overall: Each time we try a new beer from these guys we become more and more impressed. Their NEIPA’s are easily up there but only just lack the refinement of MC, Banks and Range. They’re definitely one to watch though.
