Moersleutel Blueprints Guitar – NEIPA 6%
Turn It Up. Let Moutere Shred.
Moersleutel Blueprints Guitar is a vibrant 6% New England IPA built to showcase one thing: Moutere — a bold new hop from New Zealand that quickly became one of our favorites.
Moutere is a triploid variety of Southern Cross crossed with a wild New Zealand hop, and it brings an untamed, expressive character that lives up to its roots. To let it truly shine, we dialed back the supporting hops and gave Moutere center stage.
The result is a wild, juicy NEIPA bursting with grapefruit, pine, and watermelon — loud, fresh, and impossible to ignore. Like a roaring guitar on stage.
