DJ Roomba (Wai-iti)
Mile Wide Beer Co.

Sensory overload is likely as the brewers at Mile Wide embark upon a hazy, juicy and fruity Northeast Pale Ale that showcases the intense character of Wai-iti hops. Citrus, stone fruit and somewhat tangy, this pale ale is a treat for all the senses.

Kicking off with a pale golden hue and a mild tarnish haze, DJ Roomba with Wai-iti looks the part of the haze underneath a blanket of cotton white froth. Tangy, spicy, fruity and lightly yeasty, the beer's balanced bouquet centers around a creamy citrus scent. Its crisply sweet upstart is biscuity with shortbread, honeysuckle and lightly toasted pastry.

The showcase for flavor however, is the hops that spring to life on the middle palate. Overshadowing its malt influence, the taste of lime leads the taste while aspects of peach, passionfruit, pawpaw, grapefruit and honeydew bring an estery, hoppy brightness to the forefront. Herbal with the spice of green tea and lemongrass, a creamy mint flavor looms with a bright grassiness verbena in tow

Medium bodied but chased into dryness by the peppery nature of hops, the beer continues to take on a hoppy and nearly winey character into a medium long finish of sassafras, margarita and matcha tea.
