We have teamed up with Yakima Chief Hops to showcase Nectaron, a New Zealand hop variety that has been getting lots of love since it was released a few years ago. Bringing massive fruity characteristics to the table like pineapple, peach and grapefruit, we felt it would be great to show off its wares in a Cold IPA.
The Nectaron takes centre stage but it gets a little help from our stunning grapefruit and pine forward hand selected Simcoe lot and some pineappley Idaho 7. The super lean grist of Pils, cut with some extra pale and some flaked maize which is fermented cool with our house lager strain creates an incredibly crisp and drinkable beer that bursts with hop character. This is one for when you want a streamlined hop fix.

Copenhagen 27/3 2024. 44 cl can from Kihoskh, Sønder Boulevard, Kbh. V. Quite ugly yellow can with weird black splotches and what looks like a checkered flag from racing.
Pours slightly unclear yellow with a midsized white head. Stable. Settles as thin, almost transparent layer of foam stretching to cover the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.
Aroma is fairly intense with a light odor of sweet tropical fruit mingling with an abundance of citrus fruit- Pineapple and peach. Orange. Lemon and lime.
Medium streg carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, strangely flat texture. Flavor is intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a stronger bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter. Lingers for a while. Finish is quite dry.
Damn ugly can - but the content is dry, bitter and exactly as it should be.
