Northern Monk / Neon Raptor / Overtone – The Ressurection TIPA

Northern Monk Brewery, Neon Raptor Brewing Co. & Overtone Brewing Co. The Ressurection TIPA

THE BREWERY SAYS:

Celebrating the 2021 New Zealand hop harvest by putting Nelson Sauvin and Motueka front and centre of this DDH IPA.

With Smug’s Patrons Project firmly established as the flagship larger-than-life IPA series by now, we’ve joined forces with two of our favourite experts in hop-forward big- brews for a TIPA which celebrates the harvest by putting NZ headliners Nelson Sauvin and Motueka front and centre of the flavour profile.

US Hop Breeding program Yakima Chief and German Hop Royalty John I. Haas have collaborated on a new varietal which descends from Warrior and Ekuanot, but has a flavour profile reminiscent of typical NZ hop profiles. HBC-568 might not have the most memorable name, but you won’t forget its aggressive tropical mango, guava, and lychee notes in a hurry. Keeping things cross-Pacific, Idaho 7 and Citra join in the party because – well, do we need a reason? It’s Idaho 7 and Citra…

Expect bright, high intensity citrus & gooseberry, mouthwatering tropical juice, and faint floral, spicy herbal whispers all with a velvety mouthfeel and a crisp, clean finish from the oat & wheat base.
