Whiplash Fetch is hazy and golden with a silky body. Expect big bursts of mandarin, lime zest and ripe stone fruit from Pacifica and Wakatu, layered over a smooth malt base. Juicy, soft, and finishing with a crisp snap that keeps you reaching for more.

Milky cornsilk with big fluffy white head; flowers, lime zest, and canary melon on the nose; orange sorbet, apricot, slight cantaloupe, some Noble spice, and woody end; soft, salty, bitter.

Wakatu, Pacifica
Looks the part and smells right, but pulls its punches on tastes + I think I know why.
By using two Noble lineage NZ hops, it’s all delicate notes: there’s no Citra - or if we’re staying Kiwi, then Nelson Sauvin - to anchor it with big flavours. Too soft focus; it needs a rhythm section. There’s a big thread of dark yellow orchard fruit, which I suspect has more to do with the esters than the hops, and that’s kinda sad. I suppose at 6.8% it shouldn’t bother me too much, but it feels like a missed chance for something special.
Add to that some heavy chloride water chemistry + solid IBUs, and this is somehow both too harsh and not punchy enough.
And just when I thought WL were getting their groove back.
For all the fruit, should be more fun.
