Regional's Wellington Colab #1 Mandarina Single Hop is a captivating Pale Ale that showcases the incredible flavors of the Mandarina hops. Brewed by Duncan's Brewing in New Zealand, this beer pours a hazy golden-orange color, topped with a thick, creamy white head. The aroma is an explosion of citrus and tropical fruit notes, with the Mandarina hops taking center stage and delivering a burst of juicy tangerine, grapefruit, and pineapple. The flavor profile follows suit, with the vibrant and complex hop character taking the lead. Mandarina hops provide a zesty blend of tangerine, grapefruit, and lime, while subtle notes of mango, pineapple, and passionfruit add depth and balance to the beer. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is smooth and creamy, with a lively carbonation that provides a refreshing effervescence. The bitterness is moderate to high, with a lingering presence on the aftertaste, creating a well-balanced experience between the intense hop flavor and the subtle malt backbone. This IPA is a delightful choice for hop enthusiasts and those seeking a refreshing and aromatic craft beer experience.
