Whole Hopwired is a New Zealand-style IPA that's sure to delight the senses. Brewed by the talented team at 8 Wired, this beer boasts an impressive 7.3% alcohol content.

On the palate, the flavors explode with juicy grapefruit, pineapple, and mango, all balanced by a firm bitterness that lingers pleasantly on the finish. The medium-bodied, crisp, and refreshing carbonation, combined with a silky texture, create a smooth and enjoyable drinking experience. The finish is dry, slightly bitter, and leaves a lingering citrusy aftertaste. This classic New Zealand IPA showcases a generous amount of Galaxy hops, which impart the vibrant fruit and citrus flavors. It's a hoppy yet approachable beer with a clean and crisp finish.
