Mikkeller Forest Friends West Coast IPA Sgl

The nomadic masterminds at Mikkeller have teamed up with Wellington's hop royalty at Garage Project to unleash Forest Friends. Brewed right here in the Southern Hemisphere using a brilliant Mikkeller recipe, this stunning West Coast IPA is engineered for absolute clarity and punch. It pours a beautifully clear, bright golden-straw with a crisp pilsner malt and flaked rice backbone that builds a lightning-fast, bone dry finish. On the nose, it hits you with a massive, highly expressive aromatic payload of sticky pine resin, vibrant citrus zest, and a sharp tropical lift. The palate is beautifully light-to-medium bodied, utilizing a heavy-hitting trifecta of Simcoe, Taiheke, and Riwaka hops to layer clean, assertive bitterness with fresh passionfruit oils. Striking an exceptional balance, it is a world class, hyper-refreshing masterpiece built for ultimate hop traditionalists.
