Before me stood a grove of tangled palm trees that stood like drunken sailors waiting to reboard their ship.

And that is what I’m about to do, sitting waterside at a hotel bar in Auckland, listening to opera from someone singing who shouldn’t… but she can sing better than most and the most gets better with every sip and the citrus comes through nicely at the finish.

THEIR STORY:

A hallucinatory, mind-bending, consciousness-expanding, dream-like experience is not what you’ll find in this can. But this hazy IPA does have a gnarly hit of Riwaka Simco, and Mosaic hops, with a tropical citrus flavour and a totally piney finish. At least it’s a trip for your taste buds. Far out.

This beer had everything going for it…. Blood Orange, Mango and Passionfruit.  Everything but the taste, for me.  A disclaimer: I am not a huge fan of Weisse beers.  But it was recommended and the other recommendations from the same person had been spot on.  This beer had a very sharp bitterness of Citrus peel and it was hard to get past it.  I like tart but this was beyond tart.  I kept thinking there would be something of a finish but it was so held down it never surfaced.    This one will stay in the beer fridge until my brother-in-law comes over.  He is a Weisse Citrus guy and will probably love it.

 

THEIR STORY:  A Florida Weisse is a decidedly more flavored take on the tart, wheat beer originally brewed in German, called Berliner Weisse.  We create the sharp tart flavors in our brew kettle just as they originally did in Berlin, but as the beer matures we add loads of fresh fruit or other flavors to create a taste profile that is distinctly Floridian.
