Horsemen is a vibrant and sessionable American IPA that showcases an expressive hop profile driven by Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, Mosaic, and Krush. The sensory experience is led by an explosion of tropical passionfruit, crushed gooseberry, and distinct white wine notes characteristic of the Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka varieties. Mosaic and Krush add layers of ripe stone fruit, berry complexity, and a bright citrus zest. This hazy ale features a lean, crackery malt backbone that allows the modern hop character to remain the focus. It finishes with a clean, moderate bitterness and a refreshing, hop-saturated aftertaste that emphasizes high drinkability.
