Ruby Island Red IPA

Hops have taken over the world. Permeated the senses of the minions. Hop Zombies now roam the streets. Lupulin ichor oozing from ravaged legions. Gorging, gouging, masticating. Salivating over insane hop flavours and aromas. The time is nigh. No more festering away in hopless oblivion. Join the Hop Zombie Revolution.

Prepare for a wild ride with Near Miss, the Red IIPA that’s as bold as the collaboration between the mad scientists at Double Vision Brewing and the seasoned pros at Emerson's! This brew is all about New Zealand brewing, and it turns out that this recipe has landed somewhere between Oreti Red (the predecessor of Daredevil) and Red Rascal (the first beer of ours Richard Emerson loved) in terms of malt bill, process, and hop schedules... but has the throttle turned up to 8.2% to maximise the flavour!Near Miss gets its name from one of the first times we were out in Dunedin with Richard and Greg. We got Flamingo Scooters to take to town from the brewery, and Richard had never used one. The only problem we realised at full speed was that he didn’t know how to stop! He was screaming, “How do you STOP?!” while we yelled back instructions. Only when we remembered he couldn’t hear us did we look back and gesture how to hit the brakes. He slammed the brakes, put his foot down, and came to a halt right before a busy intersection. It was truly a Near Miss!

Bears generally fall into two categories: terrifying or loveable. You've done well to get your hands on one that won't chase you through the woods. Although not grizzly, Juicy Bear does pack a bit of a punch. Brewed in the west coast IPA style, it's been dry hopped with Kohatu, Nectaron and Mosaic hops, then spiked with both fresh pineapple juice and Abstrax Skyfarm Pineapple. It's worth coming out of hibernation for.

‍

Expect an aggressively hopped, malt stabilised, bitterly finished beauty, fanging bright tropical tones with zesty, floral echoes.

Take a big bite of hops on a crisp malt base and you've got a grapefruit and passionfruit IPA that will drive you dental.
