This Hazy IPA showcases a singular focus on New Zealand Rakau hops, delivering an intense sensory profile dominated by ripe stone fruit and tropical nuances. Distinctive aromas of apricot and peach meld with a delicate wildflower honey accent, creating an inviting, floral-tinged bouquet. The 100% Rakau hop charge provides layers of passion fruit and soft citrus on the palate, supported by a creamy, pillowy mouthfeel characteristic of the New England style. Despite the addition of honey, the finish remains balanced and smooth, allowing the vibrant, resinous fruit qualities to linger without harsh bitterness or excessive sweetness.
