Cellarmaker Built Fjord Tough

Cellarmaker 
Built Fjord Tough 
7% ABV 16oz

Built Fjord Tough is a West Coast IPA hopped singularly with Cellarmaker's hand selected lots of Nectaron T90 and Cryo. They were fortunate enough this year that their selection at NZ hops was happening just as the last trucks of the season were rolling in, still loaded with the final cones of Nectaron from this year’s harvest. Along with the samples already pulled for their selection they were able to smell and dissect fresh handfuls right off the back of these trucks loaded with thousands of pounds of freshly baled cones. The incredible character Cellarmaker was getting that close to the source along with the sheer scale of the experience made it an easy decision to build a beer around this single hop. Expect waves of passionfruit and stonefruit up front, with a specifically over-ripe white nectarine note leading the way. Underneath is just a touch of open-plains grass and a subtle hint of diesel. Crisp, complex, and bright, this beer fully encapsulates the breadth of characters Nectaron can express.
