There is a flavour intensity to our DDH Pales, this one hopped with hand-selected Rakau and Waimea, that we find affirming, yet also mellow and relaxing. A beer not confined by strength and good judgement to the shortest of measures, instead a beer for long and lingering pauses. One such pause during last year’s hop selection trip was the ferry from Picton — hours along the Marlborough Sounds, and across Cook Strait.

440ml can online from the source. Pours murky orange with a white head. Aroma: pale malts, mango, pineapple, gentle grassy hops. Taste: light to moderate sweet & bitter, mango, melon, pineapple & orange hints, grapefruit. Fruity bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Something missing here, for me
