Back in April, The Mill Brewery explored some of the northern hemisphere’s favourite hops with Northern Lights and for Spring 2022, they’ve looked to the skies a little closer to home. Southern Lights is an NZ IPA brewed with Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron, alongside some additional Idaho 7 and Citra Cryo from the US.
It’s quite a modern IPA too and borrows from both the West Coast and juicy camps with a combined wealth brought by a soft and lush mouthfeel and a decent bitterness. The hops meanwhile provide a fresh array of gooseberry, pawpaw, rich passionfruit and grapefruit with some light touches freshly cut grass.
