Oliver Bills-Strange: We tasted this not long ago and 100% agree. On the eye out for our own cans haha.
Todd Richardson is drinking a FRESH HOP - Hoptimus Prime WCIPA by Eddyline Brewery NEW ZEALAND at Hanmer Holiday Homes
Nice westie, really crisp. There’s some grass in the aroma but it’s not dominant. Grapefruit with a hint of greenery, and a touch oily. Solid offering that had a really hard act to follow

Not much greenery to be found here, a touch if you search for it on the nose. Super creamy mouthfeel with lingering grapefruit bitterness dominant. Great westie but lacking as a freshie

Todd Richardson is drinking a Limited Release 13 - Fresh Hop Bright IPA by Parrotdog at Hanmer Holiday Homes
Feel like this has had a bad rap so far but I’m really enjoying it, even following Sticky Digits. Solid greenery from start to finish with a lovely oiliness. Nice and dry

2024. Well that throws a spanner in the works 💥 CRACKER of a nose - absolute knockout of intense dank weed. Palate doesn’t let up - sticky pine with lime towards the back. Perfectly balance, lingering resinous bitterness. That’s damn near perfect

Matt Hogarth: Could not agree more. Definitely scratching my head for 1st/2nd place....
Todd Richardson: I’ve got a mate here with me too that’s new to the Fresh hop scene and he, unprompted, 100% agrees that this is the best of the trio (HopHunter, 802 and this) we’ve had together
Matt Hogarth: Good to have some intel from an outsider! I will have to get a few cans to compare 😅
John feron: Must be good.
Todd Richardson: Reaaaaally good
Very subtle green at the tail-end, if you search for it. Pillowy soft with orange/mandarin and a grapefruit bitterness to finish
