Hop Squeeze
Hazy Double IPA / 8.5% ABV
w/Freestyle Nelson, Freestyle Waimea & Freestyle Motueka
Hop Dudeが住まう用宗から、世界へ繋がる大海原を超えて約9000キロ先……。遠く離れた南半球の地から、アルケミストへの贈り物。恵みのホップを好きなだけ好きなように、贅沢にひとり占め。濁りそして期待をともなった2ndバッチの出来栄えは如何に…?
今回ドライホップとして採用した3種類は、前回から品種を調整しつつ、WCBのGrantとDerrekが目利きして選んだ【Nelson・Waimea・Motueka】。もちろん今回もHop Dudeが大好きな「Freestyle Hops」より到着!
グラッシーで微かなダンク、柿やライチを連想させるアロマ。口に含むと、グレープフルーツに赤肉メロン、桃、熟したパイナップルの印象など、めくるめくフルーツ祭。飲み進めるとミルキーな口当たりとほのかな甘さを感じ、最後にはグレープフルーツ果皮のような程よい苦みが◎。
WE SQUEEZE these bad boys. Which ones? All of them. For how long...Who can be sure? What we can tell you (with absolute certainty) though is that this beer was made with Freestyle hops, and Freestyle hops only. For those that don’t know—that’s the good stuff. That feeling you get when the Freestyle hops arrive… staring at those reflective boxes is like peering deep into someone’s soul. And now that another 100% Freestyle brew is complete - let us tell you about it. Super, insane, juiciness. Freestyle Nelson, Waimea and Motueka combined... it's like Santa letting you drive the sleigh in May. Forget about SDGs, Hop Squeeze is yet another GFC (Glorious Freestyle Concoction) and like it's predecessors, doesn't disappoint. The white grape / peach / pineapple aromas that pop from this elixir are absolutely staggering, and don’t let us forget the massive hits of stone fruit and grape when you finally dig in. The lupulin cheat code is BACK - go get yourself some of this asap.
