Description: “hah-WAY-ah” — Fed by glacial waters and framed by rugged alpine peaks, Lake Hāwea is known for its striking blue depths and ever-changing mountain mist. Long regarded as a place of quiet beauty and reflection, the lake carries a calm energy that feels both expansive and untouched. Inspired by its luminous waters, this hazy IPA bursts with layered notes of white grape, passionfruit, guava, and soft tropical citrus. Kohia Nelson brings a saturated sauv blanc character, while Krush Hyperboost adds bright tropical intensity and a smooth, pillowy finish. Radiant, expressive, and endlessly drinkable, Hawea drifts between soft haze and vibrant fruit — like sunlight breaking through mountain fog.
