This isn’t just an IPA, it’s the IPA of the summer! In collaboration with our pals at Hopewell Brewing, we blended a pile of fresh New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops, a splash of PNW powerhouse hops, and a cool Bavarian lager yeast to create a tantalizing and fruity IPA to crush in the sun while you dream of cooler days.

Gift can from BIL poured into glass. Nice head, nice burst of aroma. Semi-translucent. Feels like West Coast hops. Very nice.

Appearance: Pours a mostly clear (80% clarity) light to medium golden color with a strong white head that lingers. SRM of 6-7. (4.00)
Aroma: Strong aromas of grapefruit, white grape, some white peach, pineapple and some smooth berries underneath. (4.00)
Flavor: Strong flavors of orange, white grape, vinous white peach, sweet berries, mango, and grape underneath. (4.25)
Feel: Medium-body, strong carbonation. Finish is mildly sweet. (4.00)
Overall: As always I'll pick up anything I see to support Fair State. Nice IPA collab with Hopewell with New Zealand hops. Distinct grape, white peach, and mango flavors. Smooth and mildly sweet. Listed as a summer IPA, but seems to be released a bit early as not even Spring yet. I don't know. Nevertheless, a fantastic hop combo and collab IPA here. All the nice Nelson, plus some Mango cryo. Amazing hop flavors and IPA from Fair State and Hopewell. (Rating: 4.15)
