The annual release of DEYA’s Glue series is here, beers which utilise and showcase New Zealand hops. And this year there’s a twist.
Glue Tac (4% ABV), Glue (6.5% ABV), and Super Glue (8% ABV) feature a heavy use of Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and this year also some Nectaron.
The OG of the series, Glue, is a juicy IPA with a heavy use of Nelson Sauvin and Motueka from Freestyle Hops. It uses their liquid hop product Nelson Sauvin HopKief, which is dosed in the packaging tank to give the hop aroma a big lift.
Glue-Tac explores a new hop pellet format from Clayton Hops, Amplifire. This is a concentrated pellet similar to Cryo pellets; more aroma, less grass.
Super Glue is supercharged with Clayton Hops’ Nelson and Motueka. There’s a big dose of Nectaron in the dry hop, bringing passionfruit, pineapple, and stonefruit. “To make doubly sure of full-on hop aroma saturation, we dosed Motueka and Nelson HopKief into the packaging tank,” says DEYA.
