A new year brings a fresh look for Hop Nation’s limited release beers. To create the new designs, the brewery teamed up with Melbourne’s Jana Langhorst, who has worked with some of the city’s best hospo venues. But while the appearance may have changed, Hazy IPA with Mosaic, Sabro, and Riwaka is very much the kind of heavily-hopped release we've come to know the brewery for.
The beer features Mosaic in both Incognito and Cryo form, more Cryo in the shape Sabro, and a dash of New Zealand's Riwaka. Naturally, it makes for a hazy juice bomb of the tropical variety, with papaya, mango, and coconut all making their presence felt. With a textural and incredibly smooth mouthfeel and notes of citrus, the beer also leans into OJ territory, while a lingering flavour of canned peaches joins the party.
TL;DR: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
