Background and objectives

Modelled after Kissmeyer Stockholm Syndrome, with the same hopping and malt-body balance – though naturally with much lower strength and intensity – and the NEIPA appearance and focus on intense hop aroma and taste rather than bitterness. Supplemented with a note of fruitiness from the discrete addition of grapefruit.

Appearance

Pale amber/straw yellow, deliberately cloudy!

Aroma

Intense, fruity-hoppy fragrance, touch of malt in background along with a discrete note of citrus fruit.

Taste

Fairly intense, dry, very fresh, robust fruit-hop flavour, backed up by malt character. Medium aftertaste of fruit and hops.

Mouth feel

Light and soft, mild creamy body with a tingling mouthfeel (high carbonisation).

food matching

Salads, burgers and pizzas, as well as chicken and pork dishes.

Overall

Extremely drinkable, with low bitterness and intense, fruity hoppiness. These qualities, discretely supplemented with grapefruit flavouring and the beer’s cloudy appearance, result in an almost juice-like experience.
