North East (New Zealand) style IPA copiously dry hopped with Wakatu, Motueka, and Lupulin Citra.
Person One: "Hey man, I have no idea where I am. There's not even a public loo."
Person Two: "Waikikamukau, probably. Find the pub and you'll be sweet."

A hazy, hoppy mango & pineapple citrusy NEIPA with an ABV of 8%. A nice little sweetness to it.

Look: Hazy dark yellow with a hint of orange. Small off white head, very good retention.
Aroma: some nice mango up front, hint of grasses, bread dough.
Taste: mango, pineapple, palm oil. Nice tropical IPA.
FEEL: weak carbonation, but super smooth. Hint of astringent at the end.
Really good tropical IPA. Another great hoppy Icarus.

Your typical clean IIPA done right with a great body and mouthfeel. The surprising element however is the strong pineapple flavor. A very unique IIPA.

Citrus hops, light tropical notes, grass, resin, and earthy notes. Easy to drink and feels lower in ABv than it is. A very good IPA and would love to have it again.

Decent drinking IPA, despite the mild amount of lupin power.Thanks Daniel for the hookup. Quaffable enough. Better than a homebrew, and lets try their beers a bit down the road.
