Background and objectives

Modelled after Kissmeyer Eagle Kiss and with the same bitterness. The biggest difference lies in the hopping balance; the traditional bitterness of Eagle Kiss is partially replaced in this beer with the NEIPA focusing on intense hop aroma and taste, with a subtle fruity hint from the moderate addition of rose hip- and sea buckthorn oil.
