This IPA shines with Nelson Sauvin's Sauvignon Blanc grape, gooseberries, and fresh-cut grass, balanced by juicy mango and passionfruit. Apricot and strawberry follow, wrapped in a light, airy body with a soft, balanced sweetness.

Nelson Sauvin, Vic Secret, Citra
The first Whiplash NEIPA in ages to look the part in the glass, not just hazy but (properly) opaque. The nose follows through with a speckle of light herbal notes and a whiff of diesel danger.
On the palate this dance plays out with Nelson + Citra showing their lighter, fruity sides only to have Vic Secret resin + NS sweatsock drop in at the end. It’s a dramatic shift that doesn’t completely land, but it’s fun to watch.
The trouble comes with the body: so NEIPA-pillowy that it’s lighter than a cloud - too light for both the hop complexity and the ABV; it sips like an APA.
How much this ruins it is a matter of taste. You may find yourself chugging it only to be stopped by a dank blast to finish. Either way, it’s nice to see WL doing what they do well, even if it’s not their best - does that make any sense.
Overdelivers for flavour, underdelivers for body.
