Northern Monk - 42.06 Patrons Project Regal Serenity

he penultimate release with Billelis; purveyor of dark, luxe Digital Art, is a collaboration with Soma (Spain) and Badlands (Canada). Weighing in at 7.5%, Regal Serenity is double-dry hopped and showcases a rare showing of New Zealand grown Cascade. The NZ Cascade demonstrates how terroir can really impact a hop variety, with notes of red berry and orchard fruit shining through, unlike the resinous character of its US counterpart. This is complemented with Nectaron’s pineapple and nectarine flavours, while Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka bring white grape and passion fruit to the mix. The hops used in this DDH IPA were harvested in March and in your glass by May, a true celebration of freshness and flavour. It has a thick, luxurious texture and whole fruit basket of hops - worthy of any royal court.
