Badlands Kiwi

Brewery: Badlands Brewing
Country: Canada
ABV: 6.5%
Style: IPA – New England / Hazy
Other Notes: Hops – Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka and Motueka

Brewer Description: (from can) New Zealand produces some of the finest hops in the world. Their growing region has a character unlike any other in the hop world and we are exceptionally smitten by it. Some of our favorite varieties to blend with come from the region, which is why we wanted to brew a beer that was aggressively hopped with some of our favy mcfavorites, and the results are sublime.

Dry hopped with the holy New Zealand trifecta of Nelson Sauvin, Riwaka, and Motueka we taste heaven… but also gooseberry, lime, tropical fruit and dank berries.

3 - Indifferent (might buy, probably drink), Badlands Brewing, Beer Reviews, Canada, IPA - New England / Hazy

Badlands Fog (2025)

Leave a comment

Brewery: Badlands Brewing
Country: Canada
ABV: 6.5%
Style: IPA – New England / Hazy
Other Notes: Hops – Citra, Superdelic and Nectaron

Brewer Description: (from can) This is the very first beer we ever brewed as a brewery. It was batch numero uno but it never saw the light of day because almost everything went wrong on that first beer (the final death punch was the glycol loop dying in late June 2017, and fermentation getting wayyyyy too hot).

When it was first brewed it had a working name of “Fog.” We decided it was finally time to bring it back, pretty different recipe (trust us, its better now!), same working name (which has been promoted to its “for eva eva” name).

Hopped with Citra, Superdelic and Nectaron we taste notes of navel orange, lime, nostalgia, and tropical fruit candy.

My rating: 3+

Intro: A 473ml can, canned on 26th December 2024. Poured into a winebar glass.
Appearance: A hazy pale milky yellow colour with a big three finger white head that had good retention, and left nice lacing.
Aroma: Mandarin, melon, lime, with notes of tropical fruit candy.
Taste: Candied citrus zesty sweetness, mandarin, melon, lime.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Preferred the aroma over the flavour, as the flavour just wasn’t as juicy as the aroma suggested it could have been.
