In this DIPA we've boldly pushed the boundaries of contemporary liquid hop offerings. While liquid hops have traditionally played a supporting role in our most innovative beers, evolving their impact as technology and real-world feedback shape their usage, this time we wanted them to take centre stage in the brewing process.
Our aim was to maximise the potential of these full-flavour liquid hop extracts, producing an abundance of aroma and a profound hop resin character. The hop line-up starts with Citra Incognito from Barth Haas, followed by Nelson and Motueka SubZero HopKief from Freestyle for biotransformation. It then progresses to Galaxy and Citra Spectrum before finishing off with Nelson and Motueka Amplifire green hops oil from Clayton Hops, resulting in a layered complexity that rivals the finest dry-hop offerings available.
The outcome is a huge New Zealand-led bouquet of grape, lime, and gooseberry, complemented by lingering citrus and peach flavours on a dense resinous body that will have you savouring the intense, all-encompassing hop experience.
