Eddyline Brewery's Hop Project #6 is a captivating New Zealand-style India Pale Ale (NZIPA) that takes you on a flavorful journey. This vibrant IPA pours a golden hue with a fluffy white head that slowly dissipates, leaving behind intricate lacing on the glass. The aroma is an explosion of citrusy, tropical, and herbal notes, with juicy grapefruit, ripe papaya, pineapple, and passionfruit dancing with hints of grassy hops and a touch of pine. The initial sip brings a burst of fruity sweetness, with prominent notes of grapefruit, orange peel, and passionfruit. As the beer warms, the bitterness emerges, providing a balanced and refreshing contrast, with flavors of lime, pine, and a hint of spice. Hop Project #6 has a medium body and a crisp, effervescent carbonation that creates a lively mouthfeel. The bitterness lingers on the tongue but does not overpower the fruity flavors, making this brew highly enjoyable for both hopheads and casual beer drinkers alike.
