Borrowed Light – FUERST WIACEK's DDH Hazy IPA from Berlin with Citra & Manilita

Borrowed Light by FUERST WIACEK from Berlin is a Double Dry Hopped New England / Hazy IPA at 6.8% ABV that arrives with an unusual and exciting hop pairing: Citra and Manilita. While Citra needs little introduction as one of the world's most celebrated aroma hop varieties — delivering its signature spectrum of grapefruit, lime, passion fruit, and tropical citrus — Manilita brings a compelling contrast as a newer, still rarely used variety, contributing an exciting profile of intense tropical fruit, passion fruit, and floral notes that elevates the Citra brilliance into a new dimension entirely. The result is a Hazy IPA that opens with radiant citrus freshness, unfolds into tropical depth, and closes with a long, softly aromatic finish — like borrowed light gradually illuminating a room.

What makes Borrowed Light so compelling is the deliberate choice of Manilita as Citra's partner: FUERST WIACEK reaches for a variety that many are yet to discover, deploying it with the precision the Berlin brewery is renowned for. The DDH process maximises the aromatic potential of both hops to the full — juicy, fresh, and with a depth that invites you back for another sip. A Hazy IPA that fully earns its poetic name.
