Dream the impossible dream! Fight the unbeatable foe! A full-bodied double IPA full of hop aromas and flavors with unimaginable tropical fruits: papaya, pineapple, mango, and passionfruit. All with a spicy character thanks to the neomexicanus hop Zappa.

NEDIPA by this trusted brewery in the turbulent Basque region of northern Spain, poured by David of Bar Beenhouwer at Billie's Craft Beer Fest, cheers! Egg-white, moussy, shred-lacing, quite stable head, hazy yellow blonde robe with apricot hue. Aroma of ripe mango, kumquat, carambola, yellow kiwi, granadilla, fresh dough. Sweet onset, very juicy, lime sourishness edging ripe mango and kiwi sweetness, quite fizzily carbonated for this style with rounded, creamy body; doughy, lightly bready malt core under a wave of tropical, citric hoppiness, with retronasal aspects ranging from mango over pomelo to guava, followed by some warming, but otherwise well-behaved alcohol. The hops add a mild bitterish finishing touch, which I can strongly appreciate in this style (it is not always there). Excellent for what it is supposed to be.
