On the night of 14 March 2025, under the skies of Nelson, New Zealand, Eggers Hops were harvesting during a rare celestial event—a full blood moon and total lunar eclipse occurring together. Over a single 24-hour window, the hops were gathered at the precise moment when the moon’s gravitational pull, lunar light, and unique eclipse spectrum combined to create conditions unlike any other harvest in memory. We are lucky to be part of a select group of breweries, joining in an international collaboration brew, celebrating this extraordinary harvest.

We brewed our Pale Ale on the Harvest Moon, and have double dry-hopped it to discover all we can about this unique variety harvested under a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event. It imparts a Riesling-like quality, plenty of gooseberry, passionfruit and lime, and a touch of diesel dankness on the nose.

440ml can. Hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of white wine, grape, melon, gooseberry. Taste of white wine, grape, gooseberry, melon, passionfruit, zesty lemon and lime, light citrus peel bitterness. Medium bodied. One of the nicest pales I've had all year I think.
Track didn't even say which Eggers hops they used but have to assume it's the Nelson blend others were using for this blood moon harvest thing. In any case they're tasting incredible.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, tidy bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Smooth if somewhat thin pale malts light creamy sweetness. Riwaka's hillbilly cousin once again presents and enigmatic face. It tastes a bit different in every beer I have quaffed. The description says Reisling and I get that, skunk too. Could easily be mistaken for a NS brew in a blind tasting. A little lychee and a touch of juicy floral tropical fruits. Fairly light finish. Eggers entertains again.
