CropShop presents an intense New Zealand-inspired sensory experience, anchored by the pungent, crushed white grape and gooseberry notes of Nelson Sauvin and Maui Nelson Hop Kief. Rakau hops add layers of ripe stone fruit, specifically apricot and lime, which weave through a lean, neutral malt backbone. This Double IPA is remarkably aromatic, showcasing a high-intensity hop profile that remains bright and clean despite its 8.5% strength. The finish is assertive but smooth, balancing firm bitterness with a crisp dryness that invites another sip, emphasizing the tropical and vinous character of its modern southern hemisphere hop additions.
