As we're closing out the year that was 2021 (and what a year it was!), we wanted to make a trio of beers celebrating each respective branch of the brewery's favourite hop varietal. Team Warehouse have been enchanted by relative newcomer to the Polly's family Motueka this year, with the facilitation warriors digging how well the noble hop lively and zesty lemon and lime characteristics work off the intense tropical punchbowl of new school stone fruit notes. A beer that balances that fine line between DDH flavour intensity, and smashable pint sinkability; perfect for supping after a long day making people's beery dreams come true!

Pours a hazy, bright orange coloration with a medium, fluffy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and citrus hops, with notes of orange and lime peel. Taste is a great balance of light biscuity malt and fruity, juicy, slightly herbal hops, with citrus of orange and lime peel, as well as hints of basil, mint and lemongrass. Finishes with a light bitterness and some lime peel and lemongrass lingering in the aftertaste. Soft mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.

Another single-hopped IPA for tonight, this time with Motueka and leaning a bit more towards the New England style. That mojito character of Motueka certainly comes through nicely here, with some bright and zesty orange and lime notes, with the lime standing out particularly, as well as hints of mint and lemongrass. Although I would have wished for those lime notes to be even more distinct and vibrant here, this still makes for a rather enjoyabe brew that showcases Motueka well enough.
