A strange blend of artists, scientists, and backyard philosophers. This beer puts all those qualities to the test. For decades, hopologists have been analysing the alpha acids and oils from the beloved hop to create hard facts and data on the predictability of hop aroma. They have come ever so close, yet so far from cracking the hop code. Then you throw fresh wet Nelson Sauvin hops into the mash tun straight after harvest, and any lupulin theory goes out the window, with the artist and the philosopher coming to the rescue.
This beer is a showcase of wet and dry Nelson Sauvin hops. Passionfruit, citrus, sauvignon blanc notes on a simple pilsner base.

Don't be afraid of the Dark! This little Dark Ale provides light refreshment while maintaining its dark facade. Eat your carrots and embrace the darkness; let it be your friend. You'll be surprised; this is one smooth little number.
This little nugget of a Dark Ale showcases a neutral ester profile, with a touch of Nelson Sauvin dry-hop, to highlight the Fuggles + Motueka hop combo in the kettle. Subtle malt notes provide the color with caramel and chocolate tones, without the astringency of other dark beers.

The Southern Cross stars have long guided navigators of the Pacific Ocean. Two of the major stars in the set point directly to the South Pole. These stars have also provided navigation for this well balanced New Zealand Lager. Brewed with a Light Pilsner base, and a touch of Munich for some malt structure. The real hero of this beer is the three kettle additions of the NZ Southern Cross hop to provide a balanced citrus bitterness. This beer was then lagered cold, South Pole cold.
Refreshing Lager, well structured with a hint of hop citrus.
Drop the tiara! This Hazy New England IPA brings in the heavy hitters of the American Royal Hop family to the aromatic fore. Hops, Queen Cascade and King Tomahawk bring traditional family values of grapefruit, floral and spice, while Prince's Cashmere and Mosaic bring a younger modern Citrus-a-peel. It wouldn't be a full royal drama without rouge Dutchess Amarillo bringing all the Peach tea (aromas).
This heavy hitting hazy hop number leaves Old England across the pond in the dust - New World Order has arrived.
Citrus and Stone fruit bonanza!
Full of end of summer musings, this thirst quenching hop number gives you a whimsical haze of flaked wheat and oats on the horizon of traditional Ale malt. Like the halcyon birds (Kotare/ Kingfisher) of Waiheke Island - this beer flys high on the afternoon thermals of dryhop note; Cascade, Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin hops. The early bitterness is a balanced discovery of the Columbus hop.
Tropical fruit, citrus and pine needles helps you send Summer further into the calendar year.
