From the label

“The spark when worlds collide. Beautiful Friction combines New Zealand's most sought-after hops in opposing forces – traditional Riwaka and Nectaron meet cutting-edge Nelson Sauvin. Lush tropical intensity where passionfruit notes and citrus meld to create something unexpectedly harmonious.”
