96/744)  Hop Wired IPA by 8 Wired Brewing of New Zealand:  **1/2; brewed with New Zealand grown pale ale malt and hops;  strong malt presence but it's all about the hops;  New Zealand hops have been receiving a lot of attention of late;  there is a Sauvignon Blanc nose with tropical, citrusy notes;  bitter hop bite to open; fruity wine-like finish;  we need to see more beers from New Zealand;
