It was 2005 when ships were leaving the South Island of New Zealand with Nelson hops destined for the west coast of the States, and eventually into some of the greatest beers of all time. Inspired by our favorite eponymously named IPAs, and the ridiculous IPAs coming out of Middle Earth; Sea Gazer packs in all of that stinky Nelson goodness in a package with very little malt flavor at all, and a surprising and assertive bitterness that tends to be missing from IPAs with noses as rocket-fueled with tropical flavors. Equally as satiating as it is refreshing, this dry and aromatic laserbeam of a new Zealand IPA is erupting with notes of funky and fresh passionfruit, sauvignon blanc grapes, key lime zest, sweet apricots, gooseberry, hints of pineapple, juicy pear, lychee gummies, and a tropical diesel character.

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours golden yellow with a frothy off white head that settles to a firm layer and laces nicely.
S: Opens with zesty citrus mixed with slightly resinous grassy notes and a touch of Southern Hem diesel, followed by a boatload of exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, wrapped up with slightly bready biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Ripe exotic, tropical, and stone fruit, gooseberry, lychee, pineapple, passion fruit, white grape, apricot, guava, and a hint of pear, slightly resinous, light citrus zest, lime and lemon, a bit grassy, subtle Southern Hem diesel, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: A little on the lighter side of medium body, mild carbonation, somehow manages to come off both light and crisp as well as soft and smooth.
O: It's not often that a Nelson beer comes along that truly stands out from the crowd. All the traditional notes are there, but I think it's actually the secondary notes that really get to shine. This one is special.

Enjoyed this on tap paired with a delicious pie. Pours clear and clean. Low aroma, lots of passion fruit and guava, with some drying citrusy pith on the finish. Tasty, as expected.
