A hazy IPA, showcasing Kohia Nelson, bursting with sweet tropical aromas
To shine a light on Kohia Nelson, we brewed an IPA that blends a bit of West Coast and East Coast influence in terms of style, with the hops themselves being from New Zealand. The base beer is comprised of Golden Promise malts with some flaked and malted wheat, and just a splash of Vienna malt, for a depth of mild sweetness and body. This beer was fermented with Thiol Libre, a yeast strain designed to take advantage of bound thiols in hops and unlock tropical aromas. This base beer, with just that touch of sweetness, and the low bitterness, is designed to really let this hybrid New Zealand hop express its best fruity and tropical personality.
