We teamed up with our friends from Garage Project in New Zealand to produce this Hazy Double IPA infused with unparalleled levels of terroir driven hop character. The Nelson Sauvin and Rakau hops sourced for this beer are from Garston Hops, whose hop yards are the southernmost in the entire world! A wave of passion fruit and diesel cascades out of the glass followed by a spray of concentrated orange oil punctuated with subtle grassy and spicy notes. And then things really take off. A carousel of peach rings, strawberries, gooseberry jam and pineapple chunks are packed into every last, pillowy drop.

Guava and pineapple and passion fruit, a winning combination. Pours cloudy and murky, as per the style, with a low bitterness and a lingering finish. Enjoyed on tap.

Can poured into an Alvarado Street Brewery Willi Beecher glass
A: Pours hazy peachy golden orange amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a firm layer and leaves plenty of nice lacing.
S: Lively tropical, exotic, and orchard fruit, citrus juice, a touch of spice, a little Southern Hem diesel, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Exotic, tropical, and orchard fruit, pineapple juice, melon, pear, white grape, papaya, peach rings, gooseberry, and mango, a little juicy citrus, orange and a touch of lemon lime, a little Southern Hem diesel, a touch of spice, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: Medium body, moderate carbonation, deceptively light for 8.5%
O: I'm normally not big on Rakau hops and some of the flavors that play a more prominent role here, but somehow it all comes together quite nicely and it works for me. Not one I'd rush out to grab more of, but I'm enjoying this pint far more than I thought I would.
