Commercial Description:
This ale marks our journey to the only place on the planet where fresh hops are harvested in our spring, the Southern Hemisphere. Our task was daunting-we needed to get the hops picked, dried, flown halfway across the world and into our brew kettle in a little over a week's time. The result is a North-by-South fusion of fresh New Zealand hops blended with the finest North American malts. Its robust hop character presents an intriguing floral-citrus aroma leading to layers of fresh-hop spiciness. Enjoy!

This brew pours a dark orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes slowly. Patchy lacing. Aroma of piney hops, grass and malt. Medium body with a floral and piney hops flavor along with a decent malt base. The finish is dry and hoppy with a citrusy base and a pine aftertaste. Solid all around.

Big bottle. A nice dark copper with a fluffy off-white head. Aroma is a pleasant leafy and citrusy hoppiness. Hits the palate fairly malty, with the hops following at the back of the mouth. Average palate. Pretty tasty.

Pretty sexy brew. Lots of pine hops and good sweet malt on the nose. Flavor is just as nice. Great balance of hops and malt. Not overwhelming, but solid as hell.

2009 bottle from Brawley’s in CLT. Great IPA. I think I missed this one last year and had the other two. They are all good.
