Land of the Long White Cloud is a Double IPA featuring an incredibly rare and promising hop from our friends at Freestyle Hops in New Zealand. Peacharine is making waves for stone fruit and citrus-forward character unlike anything else in the brewing world. Pouring a gorgeous hazy yellow color into the glass, it carries notes of overripe stone fruit, sweet orange marmalade, and mixed tropical fruits.
Land of the Long White Cloud is a special entry in our New Zealand Double IPAs. It relies heavily on Peacharine hops, which continue to astound us with their potent stone fruit and tropical notes. When we first crafted this beer, it felt like a mirror version of a Tree House-style DIPA. The body, texture, and soft finish were familiar, but it carried a wholly unique fruit-forward character. The hops themselves can truly make all the difference. These lots of Peacharine were sampled in the field, freshly picked, and again during packaging. A unique and highly valuable attribute of Freestyle's workflow is that it forgoes baling in favor of instant pelletization. They are the only farm in the world we know of that pelletizes directly. This eliminates potential oxidation that can occur during the baling step at other facilities. That's not to say this oxidation is excessive or harmful elsewhere. It simply means that Freestyle, like Tree House, is committed to eliminating any variable that could harm its product, even if it means accepting costly inefficiencies. Hats off to these kindred spirits and masters of their craft.
Land of the Long White Cloud was one of the first beers to focus on the incredible Peacharine hop. This soft and juicy Double IPA bursts with notes of apricot, floral peach, and tropical citrus. New Zealand is a land of hidden treasures; the hops grown on this island nation are unlike any other in the world. Enjoy the beer that started an incredible run of creativity here at Tree House. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us@profoto
