This hazy double IPA’s loaded with Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Riwaka—Nelson Sauvin’s throwing around it's white grape and gooseberry vibes, Motueka’s kicking lime and a mellow tropical pulse, and Riwaka’s stacking dank grapefruit on top of it all. A pillowy, opaque, base beer dripping with juice and a smooth finish

Overall: A new release with a killer hop combo of Nelson, Motueka, and Riwaka. The Nelson gives it a bright vinous grape flavor and the Riwaka some dank grapefruit notes. Motueka in the background for some hints of lime and berries. Still very fresh and the Nelson and Riwaka are hitting hard with zesty and phenolic flavors. I bet in about two to three weeks at it's 4-6 week peak, they will settle a bit the Motueka will starting coming through as well. This could be really good.
Update: at 6-8 weeks this is at it's peak . Amazing flavors and possibly a World-Class beer here. (4.23)
