Amarillo, Simcoe & Nelson Sauvin hops dominate this elaborate Pale Ale, bursting with citrus & tropical notes and a well-balanced bitterness. Inspired by the Latin name for Hops, Humulus Lupulus, which translates into “Wolf of the Woods”, Mac’s Three Wolves Pale Ale features US hops Simcoe and Amarillo, as well as local hero Nelson Sauvin. Three hops, three wolves, one very tasty Pale Ale. The trans-Pacific trifecta of hops will really give your tastebuds something to howl about.

Can. A golden beer with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of spices, hops, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits, spices, caramel, and malt, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light.

On tap at the Hermitage Hotel, Mount Cook. An amber pour with a tight white head; tropical fruit aroma; fruity taste with some citrus; and a spicy bitterness. All rather subdued, but a decent APA overall.

Bottle. Bright orangish amber with a white head. Arom of bread crust, oranges, some mango. Almost medium bodied with lowish carbonation. Rich for around 5% with some toffee along with the bread crust. Then first tropical and then citrus and finally spicy hop notes emerge. They're not all that prominent but they're distinct and pleasant. Bitterness is on the high side of medium. Likeable drop.

On tap at a Macs bar. Peach, lemon, plenty of caramel malt backbone. Fairly close to the definition of an average pale ale. Drinkable but nothing to get you talking. Probably the best Macs.
