Mystery Fern pours a creamy yellow color with a cloud of white foam rising above the glass. Nectaron swirls with Peacharine, bringing forth aromas of orange zest, juicy nectarines, and floral summer peaches. Following behind, Motueka brings a rush of ripe passionfruit and lime aroma, while Nelson lends subtle notes of white grape and lychee.
👀 Our Fern series returns with a sense of mystery from a new blend of hand-selected lots. Mystery Fern leads with Nectarine and Peacharine, bringing forth aromas of orange zest, juicy nectarines, and floral summer peaches. Following behind, Motueka brings a rush of ripe passionfruit and lime aroma, while Nelson lends subtle notes of white grape and lychee. The Fern series is an intimate endeavor for us; long before grueling hop selection sessions, we're sampling these lots on the bine. Our annual visits to these farms help us understand the intentions behind the farmers' decisions in the field each growing season. Connecting the dots between how a
hop expresses itself in the field and how it translates into a finished beer is one of the most important things we do. When we taste beers such as this, it represents the complexity behind the word terroir: the soil, sunlight, techniques, and lineage of a tiny patch of land on the other side of the world.
