COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Keg and bottled, 2013 release
Using the same base 6.7% beer, a baby version of our Hardcore, we slam a mouth puckering 75 IBUs on top of a base of Maris Otter, Crystal Malt and Caramalt before throwing dizzying amounts of hops at these beers.
Waimea is a new hop variety that has both aroma and bittering capability, and is the granddaughter of Pacific Jade. Pacific Jade is also a hop, not a hippy belly dancing gypsy on crack.
It has been described as having intense fresh tangelo, citrus fruit and pine needle characteristics,
High on it’s own alpha, Waimea has a new world flavour, infusing unique fresh crushed citrus aroma and flavour notes into this IPA. Sharp as a razor, this New Zealand hop slices your taste buds with intense fresh tangelo, citrus fruit and pine needle characteristics There is a huge depth flavour with astringent gooseberry balanced against the robust malt base. Throw another shrimp on the Barbie mate and you are all set. New Zealand is near Australia, right?

Converting ticks to ratings. Had this back in 2013. This beer, combined with the prices they charged, made me decide not to buy their single hop series anymore. This was bad, dish cloth, pine, yeast, rubber.

martjoobolut (9886) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - AUG 23, 2015
From the very old notes, hence this is not a real rating, but more just a mark to myself that I have tried this at one point. Herbal and dry bitter brew, not bad.

TheFoamhead (260) - Vught, NETHERLANDS - NOV 27, 2014
IPA’s are real hop bombs - generally. And this is due to their hop cocktail. This one hasn’t a hop cocktail. It’s brewed with a single hop variety: Waimea. The taste is interestingly not as hoppy as you might think, due to the Waimeas soft character. The bitterness is well ’wrapped’ in a fresh sweetness. An uncommon but very pleasent combination. Just like a honey-ice drop. One hop can be enough! The Waimeas character is very soft - uncommon for an IPA but very tasty!
