To the ends of the earth, will you hop with me? Our annual NoBo/SoBo tandem release showcases hop growing regions in the Northern & Southern Hemispheres. This year's expedition features some of that NEW-NEW: hops who can trace their lineage to New Mexico and New Zealand! SoBo Hazy IPA sailed south, seeking the siren's call of some wildly alluring hops grown in New Zealand: Rakau, Southern Cross, and Wakatu! The origins of the Land of the Long White Cloud are as mythical as they are majestic, and the hops grown there are a gorgeous reflection of one of the shining gems of geography: New Zealand really does have it all. So let's give a big cheers to YEW Zealand! Sure we couldn't invite you to make the trip, but we'd love to invite you to take a sip!

Picked this up on a recent trip to Windmill Farms after giving NOBO a 4.37 earlier in the night. Topa Topa’s website called it “To the ends of the earth, will you hop with me?

Poured a light golden hazy color with four fingers of rocky white head. Could see just a few bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Perfect spiderweb foamy lacing. Perfect retention. Such a good looking beer. (Sight - 4.75)
Smelled dank pine, Rakau, apricot, pear, tangerine, mango, stone fruit, lemon, dry grass, hay and orange blossom. A little better out of the can. (Smell - 4.00)
Tasted a little better than the nose. In order got Rakau, dank pine, apricot, pear, tangerine, mango, stone fruit, orange blossom, grass, hay, lemon zest and more Wakatu than Southern Cross. (Taste - 4.00)
Medium body. Creamy texture. Average-to-lively carbonation. Longer finish. (Feel - 4.25)
This one was tasty. Not nearly as good as NOBO, but still really good. (Overall - 4.25)
