Manuka beer was first brewed in 1769 for the sailors of the Voyage of Discovery, lead by Captain Cook to Australia and New Zealand. The fresh Manuka tips for this beer were handpicked by Andrew and Jane Dixon in Golden Bay New Zealand, who started to brew this beer again at the Mountain Inn in 1995. We hope you enjoy the unique qualities of this beer brewed under special license from our friends at the Mussel Inn.

Bottle courtesy of douglas88. Bomber pours dirty brown with copper hues and thin tan head. The aroma is big and perfumy with loads of lavender and flowery notes as well as some honey, herbs and a touch of grainy malts. The taste is similar with big lavender like flowery notes, some honey sweetness and a bit of grainy malts too. If you’re in the mood for a floral-ish beer then this one will do the trick.

22 oz bottle I got in a trade with Sledutah. Used a lager glass. Pours a bright copper, with a red hue. Big, full white head. Very good lacing. Nose has distinct ginger-like citrus, spice and light wheat base. I got to say the flavor is a unique cross between a Belgian Wit beer and a Autumn seasonal brew. Light body, crisp and refreshing. I give this brew a few points based on originality. Plus I didn’t even know what a Manuka tea was until I drank this beer. A nice spring or summer beer.

22oz bottle from Squatters
Appearance: Crystal clear copper with a nice off-white head and some lacing left in the glass
Aroma: Caramel and spices (Manuka)
Taste: Slightly sweet malts and spices
This is a very unique and good beer. Clean and crisp. I like the Manuka spice, it provides some nice bitterness.
