Woodrow's Veto IPA by Baylands Brewery in New Zealand is a captivating craft beer that has earned its place as an award-winning standout in the IPA category. This American-style IPA boasts a harmonious balance of bitterness and tropical fruit flavors, making it a delight for both hop enthusiasts and craft beer aficionados. Upon pouring, the beer presents a hazy golden-amber color with a dense, creamy white head that leaves behind a delightful lacing on the glass. The aroma is an intense and inviting blend of ripe tropical fruits, such as pineapple, passion fruit, and mango, complemented by refreshing notes of citrusy grapefruit and orange peel. The initial sip delivers a wave of hop bitterness, which is quickly balanced by the sweet, juicy fruit flavors. The grapefruit and orange notes from the aroma translate into tangy, tart undertones, creating a complex and refreshing drinking experience. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is slightly creamy, and the moderate carbonation adds a lively effervescence that enhances the overall drinkability. The beer finishes with a lingering bitterness that complements the fruitiness, leaving a pleasant reminder of the tropical hop character without any lingering astringency.
