Whenever I see a Royal Bliss Brewing Co. beer, I usually buy it. Recently, I spotted Lord of the Hops New Zealand IPA while shopping at my local Total Wine. This 6.6% IPA uses Nectaron hops. This hop was developed over 17 years by Plant and Food Research; it is widely used in IPAs, NEIPAs, and Pale Ales. This New Zealand hop has notes of bold, juicy pineapple, passion fruit, peach, and grapefruit. This IPA pours a light golden yellow with a one-finger white head. The aroma is lightly grassy, grapefruit, light tropical fruit bitterness, and hoppy notes. The flavor is bitter and hoppy. There is grapefruit, passion fruit, and smoothness. This beer has a medium mouthfeel. Then this IPA finishes with fruitiness, bitterness, and some light herbal notes. The aftertaste is lighter on the grapefruit and passion fruit as it fades. There is some lingering bitterness. This is a good beer. Lord of the Hops New Zealand IPA is a B. I thought going into this beer that there would be more of a bold tropical fruit flavor to this. But that was decent. It did have a good amount of bitter hop flavor. I recommend you try Royal Bliss Brewing Co. Lord of the Hops New Zealand IPA. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
