Forty South Green Hop Reserve

Description

Forty South Green Hop Reserve is a captivating IPA crafted by the talented brewers at North End Brewing in Christchurch, New Zealand. This unique beer showcases the vibrant flavors of freshly harvested green hops, delivering an intensely hop-forward aroma with notes of fresh pineapple, tropical fruits, citrus, and a hint of spice. The beer pours a bright golden color, topped with a fluffy white head that leaves behind beautiful lacing on the glass. On the palate, the juicy and flavorful profile is beautifully balanced, with the green hops contributing an herbal and slightly bitter character that is complemented by flavors of citrus, passion fruit, and lime. The malt backbone provides a subtle sweetness, creating a clean and refreshing finish. Medium-bodied with a crisp and refreshing carbonation, Forty South Green Hop Reserve offers a touch of astringency from the green hops, adding a pleasant dryness to the overall experience. At 7.0% ABV, this exceptional craft beer captures the essence of New Zealand's hop-growing regions, making it a perfect choice for enjoying on a warm summer day.
