5 parts Citra to 1 part Motueka. Well, our good good Pally™ Steve Parker from Fidens Brewing flew all the way out from Albany to make HIS style of Hazy IPA with us on our system. Utilizing his house yeast strain, his mash bill, and his whirlpool and dry hopping techniques, we ended up with beers that show a lot of hop expression, and a full mouthfeel that is wonderfully rich tasting but without the cloying sweetness often seen in this style.Tasting notes: Mango sorbet, cake frosting, and lychee.

Sweet orange citrus hoppy, slightly malty, and a lemony-lime citrus nose on this one! Taste follows with an ultra-creamy and pillowy soft, slightly malty, and a lemony-orange citrus bitter finish. Whoa...this one has a world-class mouthfeel for a single! The only drawback for my palate and preferences is that it is less sweet upfront than I normally like my hazies. I know this is what they were looking to do...and they executed that well, but Sweet Lu like sweet drinks (Ha!) and it made it just a touch less enjoyable for me. As a matter of fact, and even though I am no expert of Fidens' hazies...but after having 54 different Fidens beers, this actually seems less sweet than normal Fidens hazies IMO. Outside of that, this is an outstanding collab and really delicious!
