JANDAL JOOSE NZ IPA

In New Zealand, if you're looking for a quick pair of shoes to wear to the beach or to the bar for a quick beer, the shoes of choice in summer are the so-called jandals This type of shoe is not a fancy, typically New Zealand creation, but simply a conventional flip-flop The unusual name is a combination of the supposed country of origin and the word sandal: In Japan, the toe slippers have been worn for centuries, which is why the shoe manufacturer Morris Yock from New Zealand created the term jandals

A beery homage to the practical sandals comes from Rye River Brewing: The team has come up with a summery IPA that skillfully captures New Zealand's charm with hops from there The Nelson Sauvin and Motueka varieties conjure up a range of tropical and citrus-fresh fruit notes in the beer

This summery delight flows into the glass in a delicately cloudy grain gold color and is adorned with a small head of foam A fruity nose invites you to drink it The flavor profile is composed of exotic fruits such as mango, passion fruit and grapefruit as well as ripe stone fruit, citrus notes and hints of white grapes A handful of different grains underline the hoppy aroma with soft malt notes and a grippy texture The beer is rounded off by an impressive 7.0% alcohol content
