If big, high alcohol beers aren’t your thing or you pulled the short straw and have to man the wheel on the drive home, you can be thankful a visit to Yallingup’s Wild Hop Brewery remains very much on the cards.
Alongside the 6 percent-plus IPAs and stouts sits Human Music, a delectably hazy IPA that lands at a very modest 3.5 percent ABV. Brimming with melon and vibrant citrus thanks to generous additions of Citra and Cashmere hops, the robust hop character is bolstered and carried by a luscious, soft mouthfeel and lemony-lime hop flavours through the lasting finish. Characteristic low IBUs – just 20 – further enhance drinkability and ensure the booze-conscious drinker can comfortably have a couple.
Wild Hop have dialled in the hazy NEIPA style in their primarily New World-driven brewhouse and Human Music is no exception, with the added advantage of being a low alcohol offering for thirsty, responsible punters.
