The nomadic masterminds at Mikkeller have teamed up with Wellington's hop royalty at Garage Project to unleash Forest Friends. Brewed right here in the Southern Hemisphere using a brilliant Mikkeller recipe, this stunning West Coast IPA is engineered for absolute clarity and punch. It pours a beautifully clear, bright golden-straw with a crisp pilsner malt and flaked rice backbone that builds a lightning-fast, bone dry finish. On the nose, it hits you with a massive, highly expressive aromatic payload of sticky pine resin, vibrant citrus zest, and a sharp tropical lift. The palate is beautifully light-to-medium bodied, utilizing a heavy-hitting trifecta of Simcoe, Taiheke, and Riwaka hops to layer clean, assertive bitterness with fresh passionfruit oils. Striking an exceptional balance, it is a world class, hyper-refreshing masterpiece built for ultimate hop traditionalists.
