Cloudwater Brew - Nephophobia

No need to fear the clouds, they can't hurt you Our brewer Jimmy has spent many nights cruising the bars and taprooms of Japan, a place where he finds inspiration in their passion, hospitality and dedication to quality beer. This meant that it only made sense that when Eugene from Totopia Brewery in Nagoya, Japan was over earlier this summer for These Hills festival, we quickly bundled him into a van drove up to Manchester to put together a big juicy DDH IPA absolutely brimming with bucketfuls of hops, something both our breweries, and plenty of you love. We’ve left no shortage of hops in this DDH IPA with a double dose of Chinook, Centennial, Enigma, Citra, Simcoe and Ariana, throwing in some extra Centennial in the boil and Chinook in the whirlpool for an extra layer of spice and peppery herbaceousness to balance notes of peach ring sweets, lime and white grape skin. A perfectly balanced bitterness that makes you want to go back for more. Kanpai, tomodachi! Tasting Notes Aroma: White grape skin, Curacao orange, lime and grapefruit pith Taste: Peppery, grapefruity, green pepper, lime-y acidity and big NZ grape character. Peach ring sweets. Spicy herbs.
