Mining For... is a celebration of the boldest and most characterful hop varieties grown today. Each version of this soft and hazy IPA is packed with a headline-grabbing hop variety, supported by dash of something complementary.

This version showcases New Zealand heavyweight Nelson Sauvin supported by a dash of NZ Motueka. Nelson Sauvin is known for its unique white grape and gooseberry character.

Copenhagen 28/4 2026. 44 cl can from A Good Case web-shop. Can in different shades of green and with breweries little orange logo in the center.

Pours opaque golden yellow with a mid-sized white head. Stable. Settles as a thin, lumpy layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. Crawling up the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet odor of ripe stone fruits mingling with a tart and a little bit sharp citric scent. Sweet peach and apricot. Grapefruit and tart berries. Currants and gooseberries. Dry vibe.

Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, soft, smooth, creamy, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a strong tart bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter bordering on sour Lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

Solid display of NZ hops.

Pours a hazy light orange with soft, soapy head.

Smell is fruity, spicy and peppery. Notes of orange juice, grapes, gooseberries, pineapple and grass with some floral hints.

Taste is fruity, peppery, spicy and juicy. Notes of gooseberries, grapes, white pepper, mango and licorice with a moderate but noticeable bitterness. Amazing balance and drinkability.

Mouthfeel is medium, soft, pillowy and well carbonated.

Overall, an amazing IPA, a superb Nelson showcase.
