“TDH Hazy TIPA dry hopped with 3 different lots of Nelson from 2 different hop farms. Bright citrus, juicy stonefruit, sweet tropical and a kiss of NZ dank.”

Glassware: IPA.

Appearance: Proper turbid deep pastel yellow pour with a wispy white head forming on top. It settles to a collar and provides ample lacing considering the lack of retention.

Aroma: Oh Nelson Sauvin, how we love you so. The hallmark characteristics are emanating beautifully – gooseberry, green grapes/Chardonnay, tomato vine, stonefruit, subtle dank/weedy notes and a hint of peppery spice. There’s a nice bready malt profile to it…kinda crusty yet doughy at the same time. We have to give mention to the unbelievably well concealed 10% ABV too. Impressive.

Flavour: Pretty juicy initially. Lots of stonefruit, citrus and a hint of tropical. The dank and weedy (and at times resinous) vibes are also getting amongst it. Just a slight warmth and sweetness from the booze which rolls into an intensifying juicy and vinous finish with an array of back end flavours ranging from herbs/vines, dank/weedy, spicy and doughy.

Mouthfeel: Very smooth, creamy and aerated. Mild-medium body, low-ish Co2. The 10% ABV, as mentioned before, is very well hidden.

Overall: What a way to initiate things with this new(ish), fairly hyped Sydney brewery. We’d probably put them on par with Fox Friday or even Range on skill level at this stage. Very good with serious potential.
