Southern Hopisphere: You Speak-a My Language

Picture this. You are on a remote Australian beach where the quiet day erupts with some Men At Work’s Land - Down Under. That is exactly what you feel when having the first taste of Southern Hopisphere from Kros Strain Brewing!

This tropical New England style IPA is like a vacation in a glass! The aroma is of tropical fruit and some pine. Upfront, there are distinct peach and pineapple notes. The fruit notes fade into a pleasant earthy pine finish. Nice hop bitterness in the end.

The hop profile is made up of hops you would find in Australia including. Galaxy, Vic Secret, Topaz, and Nelson Sauvin hops, hence the name. A nice light, soft body in this 7.5% ABV and 62 IBU NEIPA.

I am so happy to get a chance to try this one! As always, Kros Strain Brewing never disappoints with their IPAs!

Cheers!
