The Complete History of Floss

Pretty Decent Beer Co
United Kingdom·Hazy IPA
Tap to rate

A 7% NEIPA that pairs Motueka and Nelson Sauvin in the whirlpool, topped up with Nelson Sauvin hop kief for big Nelson tropical fruit. Mosaic and Peacharine in the dry hop bring sweet tropicals and berries, and a sprinkling of Galaxy at the end adds some bite. The brewery describes it as a thread from age to age, gum to gum.

The nose opens with pronounced Nelson Sauvin character—ripe peach, gooseberry, and white wine notes layer over tropical stone fruit. Mosaic and Galaxy add secondary notes of berry compote and subtle grapefruit zest. The overall impression is fruity and forward, with hop resins present but balanced by a clean, neutral malt backdrop.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
