The Dragons of Eden
7.6% New England IPA / Hazy IPA
Our newest IPA showcasing New Zealand gems Nelson Sauvin, Wai-iti, and Rakau hops. Juicy and sweet, and bursting with tropical fruit aromas like mangoes and papaya, as well as apricot and other stone fruit. At 7.6% we put this right on the cusp of IPA/DIPA, certainly drinkable and also warming, perfect for this time of balance between Summer and Fall. You’ll dig it ;)

GREY’S VIEW
Nelson Sauvin, Wai-iti & Rakau hopped NEIPA.
Interesting first go. There’s kiwi, peach, raw cantaloupe, watermelon and what else?! It’s tropical with notes of rust and stones clearly in the mix. Doesn’t feel that well composed. Anyway. Mouthfeel is nice and medium bodied. Pretty easy and mellow. Those stonefruits are actually really important in this one, bringing even something to this.
OTHER NOTES:
Mmm. Bit too easy and one sided as well as too much of a mish-mash of a brew. Stonefruits are well present, but they don’t carry the entire beer that well anyhow. Mmm.
