“We are beyond words after pulling a gold for our New Zealand IPA at the 2025 Great American Beer Festival,” said brewer Gene Wagoner. “Designed by our talented and passionate brewer, Jose Perez—aka Chepe—our Superdelic- and Krush-focused NZ IPA edged out what must have been an intense final round with top national entries for the win.”

Pours a clear golden amber with plenty of foam in the Chimay chalice. Aromatics are tremendous with melon and peach. This has plenty of carbonation and a light sudsy body. Taste is just slightly sweet to let the fruit shine. Flavors of green melon and unripe apricot and some kind of hard candy. I think the Superdelic hop is a winner for big aromatics and less bitterness. But it does have plenty of bitterness, it just doesn't linger too long. This is another less-aggressively hopped IPA that lets the flavors shine through. In the running already for best IPA of the year for me. From the 16 oz can purchased at O'Shea Brewing. Dated 01/19/26.
