8 Wired Yuzu Super Highway Sour DIPA 440mL — Tart Citrus, Hop-Driven Lift
🍺 This is where sour beer and big IPA energy crash into each other in the best way. 8 Wired Yuzu Super Highway is sharp, juicy and full of attitude — a sour DIPA that throws bright yuzu tartness straight into a wall of punchy hops and comes out vivid, refreshing and seriously hard to ignore.
Brewed by 8 Wired in New Zealand, this 440mL release sits at 8% ABV and pushes well beyond standard IPA territory. The yuzu brings a tangy citrus snap that lifts the beer immediately, while the double IPA base gives it enough body and hop force to keep everything bold rather than thin.
The result is bright, punchy and a little wild. You get tart citrus up front, a rush of juicy hop flavour through the middle, and a sour finish that keeps it lively all the way through. It is the kind of can that suits adventurous craft drinkers, sour fans who want more weight, and IPA drinkers happy to step a little sideways.
At 8% ABV, it drinks with real intensity but still keeps its freshness. This is one to pour cold, sit with properly, and let the yuzu do its thing.
