Regional Wines and Spirits are proud to be able to offer
a range of beers from the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico California for sale. For the first time the
beers have been imported directly from America, in the past these beers have come to
New Zealand via the
UK, something which compromised their
freshness.
New to Regional we have the first year round India Pale
Ale from the iconic American brewery.Torpedo Extra IPA takes its name from the
device that Sierra Nevada invented to dry hop
the beer adding aromatic oils to the conditioning brew without adding undue
bitterness. Torpedo IPA utilizes Magnum, Crystal and the new Citra hop varieties in the
whole cone form.
Torpedo pours a brilliant gold with a healthy white
head. On the nose there are complex layers of tropical fruit, grapefruit,
orange, black pepper, and a herbaceous green note. In the mouth the beer is a
raging advertisement for American hops, layers of citrus and piney resin are
built upon a solid malt backbone. Finally there is a long dry finish. This is
the ultimate beer for spicy cuisine. Try it with a Thai curry or spicy barbequed
food.
