Rupià is a vibrant Hazy IPA that showcases a tropical masterclass through its deliberate use of Motueka, Riwaka, and Citra hops. The sensory experience begins with an explosion of citric tropics, led by pungent aromas of squelchy limes and a distinctive, earthy hedgerow funk. On the palate, the hop-forward character delivers layers of passionfruit and crushed citrus atop a soft, bready malt base. This collaboration with DosKiwis offers a plush, pillowy texture and a restrained bitterness, ensuring the focus remains on the saturated fruit expressions and a clean, juicy finish that highlights the unique Southern Hemisphere hop profile.

Appearance. Straw to light gold (4-6 SRM) with a deep, opaque haze and a characteristic shine. Features a rocky, meringue-like white head with high retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-driven bouquet featuring prominent lime zest, grapefruit, and tropical passionfruit. A subtle, damp herbal note provides a complex hedgerow character. The malt is low and supportive, offering clean, bready, and grainy notes with neutral fermentation esters.

Taste. High fruity hop flavor of juicy tropical fruit, lime, and lemon. Malt flavors are low and neutral, providing a soft, flour-like base. Perceived bitterness is low to medium-low and well-masked. The finish is off-dry and smooth with a lingering aftertaste of citrus pith and tropical nectar.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a soft, pillowy, and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. No harshness or astringency is present, though a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is detectable.
