New Hokkaido Daruma
This vibrant American IPA offers a contemporary West Coast profile, defined by its lean and exceptionally crisp body derived from the addition of Hokkaido Rice. The aromatic intensity is driven by a potent combination of Strata and Nelson Sauvin hops, delivering a complex bouquet of passionfruit, ripe pineapple, and bright citrus alongside a characteristic underlying dankness. On the palate, the hop-forward character remains dominant, showcasing tropical fruit layers and a hint of white wine grapes. A firm, clean bitterness cuts through the subtle, grainy malt profile, leading to a bone-dry, refreshing finish that exemplifies modern hop-forward craftsmanship.
