The latest in our DIPA v-series collaborations pushes the boundaries of modern liquid hop products. Until now, liquid hops have only ever played a supporting role in our most progressive beers, as the technology and real-life use feedback continues to evolve their impact.
We aimed to go as big as possible with these full-flavour liquid hop extracts, creating a massive aroma and a deep hop resinousness. The hop bill starts with Citra Incognito from Barth Haas, Nelson and Motueka SubZero HopKief from Freestyle for biotransformation, Galaxy and Citra Spectrum, and finished up with Nelson and Motueka Amplifire green hops oil from Clayton Hops to achieve a layered complexity that rivals the best dry hop products available.
The result is a huge NZ-led aroma of grape, lime and gooseberry, with citrus and peach flavours lingering on a thick resinous body leaving you smacking your lips with the intense all-out hop assault.
We are grateful to have worked on v16 hand-in-hand with our friends at Range Brewing in Brisbane, Australia, who have worked in bold and adventurous ways to elevate the Australian brewing scene.
