On tap at Taphouse 15, spectral tropical fruited NEIPA blends Vic Secret-hopped grape tannins with floral-daubed Motueka/Rakau/Wakutu-hopped lime zesting and tart passionfruit-guava-pineapple zips.

Semi-sharp citrus bittering gains tangy mango and pineapple salting for subdued coconut milking of loosely-defined murky golden milkshake IPA.

A viscous medium body with piney hop oiling and floral hibiscus nuances hiding beneath its gluey tropical surface.
