Good Bloke IPA
Roundabout Brewery

IPA featuring whole NZ leaf hops (Nelson Sauvin, Southern Cross, Pacifica and Wai-iti). Candied fruit on the nose, grassy and notes of white wine on the palate. Finishes quite bitter for a Roundabout IPA. Earlier this year while we were visiting family in New Zealand, we met up with NZ Hops Ltd CEO Doug Donelan. Doug gave us a tour of the facilities and drove us out to the Plant and Research Centre where we saw all the work going on to produce new varieties of New Zealand hops. Doug told us about a couple of breweries large enough to transport large quantities of fresh hops to the US. Upon returning to the US we reached out to Steve Dresler, Brew Master of Sierra Nevada. A few weeks later we had some NZ whole leaf hops from the 2015 NZ hop harvest. We’ve named this Good Bloke for both of these kind gentlemen…for being good blokes.
