Introducing the ATF Nectabomb a Hazy IPA that is a Tropical Explosion of Flavour!
Bursting with an impressive double dry hop of 14.5 grams per liter of Nectron hops, this beer is a tantalising explosion of tropical flavours and hazy goodness that will transport you to a paradise of hoppy delight.

With each sip, Nectabomb reveals an abundant array of fruity and citrusy flavours with undertones of stone fruit that dance upon your palate.

Despite the explosion of hop flavour, Nectabomb maintains a balanced and smooth profile.

The result is a well-rounded experience where the hops take centre stage, while the malt backbone provides a gentle supporting role.

Brew a vibrant, modern Hazy IPA showcasing the bright citrus and tropical character of Krush hops. A beer bursting with juicy citrus and tropical fruit aromas, balanced by a satisfyingly soft, smooth mouthfeel that defines the style.

To elevate the beer we recommend using WHC Mango Madness yeast to enhance the beer's inherent juiciness while adding distinct layers of ripe mango flavour and aroma. This yeast perfectly complements the Krush hops, creating a cohesive profile where citrus, pineapple, and passionfruit mingle beautifully with tropical mango notes. 
Mango Madness yeast is an innovative and cutting-edge strain selected to revolutionise the brewing process with its unique aromatic profile, thermotolerant properties, and ability to accelerate fermentation. By using Mango Madness yeast, you can achieve faster turnarounds without compromising on the quality and flavour profiles of your hop forward beers.

We recommend fermenting the ATF Tropical Krush with Mango Madness at 35℃ for 3 - 5 days before cooling the beer to 16℃ before adding the second dry hop. When cooling the beer care should be taken to avoid oxidising the beer. Please refer to the ATF Dry Hopping Techniques and How to minimise Oxidation article for some options.
