Like its sister beer, the “mountain IPA” [Outward Bound], this hazy IPA exclusively features New Zealand hops and a voluminous Motueka addition as a dip-hop step, which runs parallel to the whirlpool, promoting biotransformation. However, Homeward Bound features slightly higher finishing gravity and lower bitterness for a juicier profile.
