VOYAGE SPECTRAL
DIPA [8%]
1st Edition, 2026
Single-Origin Manilita on barley, wheat and oats
Developed within the breeding program in Nelson Lakes, Manilita emerged from a pursuit less concerned with brute-force intensity and more focused on nuance, saturation, and aromatic texture. Still experimental and grown in extremely limited quantities, the variety has quickly attracted brewers for its unusual ability to present vivid tropical character alongside a distinctly candied citrus profile. Unlike many modern cultivars, Manilita moves with softer edges: pink citrus, ripe mango, nectarine, red berry, and flashes of gummy candy layered into a remarkably plush aromatic spectrum.
This IPA was designed as a single-origin study of the hop in its purest form — no supporting cast, no blending, no distraction. A pale haze carries aromatics of Juicy Fruit gum, jackfruit, paw paw and mango nectar, while the palate opens into pulpy citrus, soft tropical fruit, and a delicate suggestion of creamsicle and fresh-cut nectarine. Low bitterness and a velvety body allow Manilita’s uncommon aromatic detail to unfold gradually, revealing something different with each return to the glass.
