Hop Drop 26

$10.99

This year’s Hop Drop is straight dynamite. Hop Drop 2026 keeps the series rolling but flips the script, locking in on bright, tropical lime-driven NZ character. Brewed for Smith’s NZ IPA Challenge and gunning for one thing - the title of best NZ IPA in New Zealand. Same attitude as the earlier...

Volume

FlavoursA light pilsner malt base with a solid dose of wheat, dextrine malt and flaked grains builds a soft, pillowy body that lets the hops detonate. Riwaka brings punchy, bold tropical and citrus. Motueka layers in zesty lime, lemon drop and mojito-like notes. Freestyle’s new Limequat blend fires off fresh tropical lime, citrus and a subtle floral edge. Fermented with WLP008 East Coast Ale Yeast, it pours hazy, drinks juicy, and packs saturated NZ hop flavour from first sniff to final sip.
StyleHazy NZ IPA
ABV6.5%
