There’s just something about a West Coast beer in the sunshine that hits different. Those sun-drenched beers of the Pacific Highway lend themselves to the laid back, easygoing vibes of the California kings that laid the very foundations of the modern craft beer movement are the reason we exist as we do today, and it always feels natural for us to pay homage when the weather takes a turn for the better. An amplified version of our core Little Petal with a New Zealand twist, this punchy, bright IPA brings a superstar trio of Motueka, Waimea and Nelson Sauvin to the party; hot side Waimea bringing the oily, resinous bitterness to lay the foundations, before cold side additions of even more Waimea, Nelson and Motueka impart a bouquet of citrus, pine, lemon and lime zest, with a hint of herbal complexity to boot.
