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!

Bottle shared by Mark: OK we all know the beer is hoppy, but why has no one mentioned that it smells like wet farts? How this beer can be so delicious after smelling like a pork fart is beyond me.

Bright deep red-orange-amber, tan head, lacing. Foresty, leafy hop aroma on a sweet grain background. Balanced, quaffable, and typical SN solidity.

From tap at OBrians. Pours cloudy deep orange with a lacing light tan head. Mild spiced and hoppy fruity aroma. Light liqourice lik hops flavour. Solid hoppy and mild spiced. A bit dense on the hoppy side and dry caramel malty. Goes slight more smooth into the finish.

Amber color with a medium to thin ivory head. Aroma is big citrus resinous hops. Flavor is definitely more on the bitter than malty side - lots of hops in this beer - citrus orange and lemons, and a good malt presense - abiscuity, lightly roasty, but crispy sides of my tongue in the finish...
