Brewed with the aromatic Nectaron and Motueka hops, this beer delivers a burst of tropical flavors and a characteristic cloudy appearance. It’s a brew that invites you to explore its layers of complexity, making it as intriguing as it is refreshing.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: True to its style, this Hazy IPA pours a cloudy, golden hue with a frothy white head that lingers.
- Nose: The aroma is vibrant and tropical, with dominant notes of passionfruit, peach, and pineapple, underpinned by a subtle citrus zest and a hint of fresh herbs from the Motueka hops.
- Palate: On the palate, the beer is juicy and full-bodied, with the Nectaron hops delivering rich flavors of ripe mango, stone fruit, and citrus. The Motueka hops add a refreshing lime-like zest, balancing the sweetness with a slight bitterness that’s smooth and well-integrated.
- Finish: The finish is soft and hazy, leaving behind a lingering tropical fruit aftertaste that invites another sip. The bitterness is restrained, making it an easy-drinking IPA with a creamy mouthfeel.
Why It's Special: Captain's Hazy Pale Ale stands out for its use of Nectaron and Motueka hops, two hop varieties that are celebrated in New Zealand for their unique flavor profiles. The combination of these hops results in a beer that is bursting with tropical fruitiness, perfectly encapsulating the essence of a New Zealand summer. The hazy style adds to its allure, offering a smooth and approachable IPA experience that appeals to both seasoned craft beer enthusiasts and those new to the style.
Pairing Suggestions:
- Seafood: Perfect with fresh seafood dishes such as grilled prawns, ceviche, or fish tacos, which complement the beer’s tropical and citrus notes.
- Spicy Foods: Try pairing with spicy Asian cuisine like Thai curries or Vietnamese salads, where the fruity sweetness of the beer can cool the heat.
- Cheese: Pairs well with creamy, tangy cheeses like goat cheese or a mild blue cheese, balancing the beer's juicy flavors.
Serving Recommendations: Serve Captain's Hazy Pale Ale chilled, around 4-6°C (39-43°F), in a tulip or IPA glass to concentrate the aromas and enhance the drinking experience. This beer is best enjoyed fresh to fully appreciate the vibrant hop character.
