Brisbane’s hop-forward legends at Slipstream Brewing Co. keep the innovation rolling with Shifting Gears, a vibrant, modern Hazy IPA. Pouring a dense, luminous glowing gold with a pillow of white froth, this aromatic powerhouse immediately fills the air with intense notes of sun-drenched mango, crushed passionfruit, zesty pink grapefruit, and sweet candied orange peel. On the palate, a generous malt bill loaded with oats and wheat creates an exceptionally plush, silky mouthfeel. Saturated layers of tropical stone fruit nectar and bright citrus oil flood the mouth, expertly balanced by a restrained, feather-light bitterness that keeps the finish remarkably clean and crisp. Tropical, plush, and bursting with fresh hop character, it’s a killer local IPA made for sunny Queensland afternoons.
