Whistle Buoy Collaboration

A collaborative creation by Category 12 and Whistle Buoy, designed especially for the 10th Anniversary of Victoria Beer Week.

This innovative Hazy IPA ventures into uncharted waters by bypassing the boil. Instead, we harness the swirling currents of the whirlpool to amplify the aroma of New Zealand Rakau and Motueka hops. These hops are bursting with aromas of big fruit-forward character described by the Rakau breeder as “the whole orchard” and Motueka adding aromas of fresh tropical limes.
