Double dry-hopped hazy double IPA that highlights two hops from one of our favorite growing regions in the world - New Zealand. Notes of calamansi juice, stone fruit, and green pineapple on top of a base beer built from frothy wheat and creamy oats.

16 fl oz. can, not seeing a date on this one, but another obvious freshie from Phase Three. DDH with nectaron and motueka hops, varieties which are mostly unfamiliar to me.

A: Passes the haze test - juicy & nectary. Lightly yellow, good frothy sudsy white head that clings.
S: Aroma is fresh, fruity, & tropical - notes of mango, papaya, orange, tangerine.
T: Taste follows - super smoothy & creamy - hugely fruity, notes of mango, peach, papaya, tangerine, pineapple, nectarine, there is a lot happening here.
F: Super smooth, clean, & drinkable / crushable. 7.7% abv isn't noticeable in the least. Not harsh, boozy, or acidic.

Overall, another banger from Phase Three, this one is excellent.

16oz undated can.

Pours cloudy gold with a half-inch head of white. Blood orange, stone fruit in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft, tacky mouthfeel. Guava, mango on the palate. Finishes with minimal malt or bitterness.
