8 Wired Hopwired IPA....$9.99 / 500ml
ABV = 7.3%
Rated 98 percentile on RateBeer
Batch 12, best before 9/24/11 (not sure the brew date)
This is one of those that this might be the only time to get it fresh, since it is the first batch to get here.
"We're pretty sure HopWired is the first bottled new world India Pale Ale made with NZ grown pale ale malt and 100% unique NZ hops. We bet you'll find nothing else like it on the shelves. Although there's plenty of malty sweetness, this beer is all about the hops. But unlike an American IPA, which will mainly challenge you with grapefruity and pine-like flavours and aromas, the kiwi hops used in HopWired produce something more like a tropical punchbowl: Passion fruit, limes, oranges and Sauvignon Blanc grapes to name but a few. A local Marlborough winemaker even said it smelled like gooseberries... Gooseberries? When did you last actually smell a gooseberry?? Decide for yourself, or just enjoy it without further complication. Cheers!" -- brewery
