Track (x Freestyle Hops x Garage Project) Unknown Seas

Our Digital NZ series concludes with us collabing with another hop grower-brewery duo from New Zealand - and what a duo! Freestyle Hops, from their two farms in Nelson, grow some of the finest hops this planet has to offer. The double dry-hopping of this DDH IPA is spearheaded by Freestyle's Mega Terps - a terpene-optimised Phantasm blend which presents itself as juicy pineapple and passionfruit. Riwaka, Motueka and Peacharine bring up the stern with sweet citrus, fleshy apricot and dank herbaceousness.

Freestyle's cutting-edge hop breeding programme is run in partnership with Garage Project, based in Aro Valley, Wellington. Since 2011, Pete and Ian Gillespie & Jos Ruffell have grown the brewery from 50 litre batches to the institution it is today, and we think this beer echoes their innovation, creativity and adventure.
