The name says it all: Hops Or Die is all about hops! This series will highlight less know hop varieties, hop combinations or different hopping techniques

For this 1st release we chose Boadicea and Wakatu hops. These hops accentuate the more herbal and spicy side of hops. Green and hoppy, just like the aroma you get when opening a fresh bag of hops.

Pours a dark, very hazed, creamy lookin' blonde with a medium, rather creamy head. Scent is full, juicy, citrus, bit herbal almost. Floral, fairly intense, overall. Lovely ! Taste is full, surprisingly bitter. Creamy maltbase, unique 'green' hoparoma, not nearly as citric as expected from the scent, but remains very aromatic nevetheless. Almost like a kind of spice, this hoparoma is very hard to describe and the first of it's kind I personally encountered. Coconut comes to mind as well, as that's a 'creamy aroma' like this hop has, but it's definately not coconut specifically.. Unique, very enjoyable IPA that is best tried to understand !

Very tasty and crisp IPA... Good balance betweens floral and bitter hops... Great! like to taste a "double" version of this 😉
