Bizarre Times
Bizarre Times is a New Zealand showcase among Left Handed Giant's hazy IPAs, hopped with Citra, Taiheke, Motueka and Riwaka. Repeated tweaks to the malt base give it a full, creamy texture. Ripe passion fruit dominates, flecked with lime peel and lemon zest and topped with candied grapefruit, and the brewery adds floral and mojito-like notes to the picture. The beer is 6.5%, vegan and has been on the list since February 2024.
