A bounty of @garstonhops from New Zealand’s wild Southland is now ready for lift‑off. Expect expressive notes of blue raspberry, white peach, pine resin and diesel‑strawberry, thanks to the lush, late‑harvest Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin.

These hops are cultivated with heart on a family‑run sheep farm at 45°28’S, where sheep graze beneath the trellises, soil is nurtured naturally, and every cone reflects deep respect for the land and a commitment to sustainable, regenerative farming.

Amber, just a slight haze. Thin head. Lots of bitterness. Good pale malt base with slight biscuit. Piney, resinous, a bit of orange. High grade IPA.

On tap at The Magnet. Pours clear gold with a white head. A lot of harsh herbal grass on the nose with some fruity NZ hops as well. Flavour has harsh herbal notes and a dusting of NZ hops. Lingering bitterness on the finish. It's fine cold, with some raw onion coming through as it warms up. Disappointing.

Flavour is clean and punchy, with a wonderfully tangy hop character, light pine, melon, and crisp biscuity malt. Tangy, pine, nicely bitter, and wonderfully balanced.
