A long white cloud of fresh flavours ‘It’s Kiwi as’.
This massively hoppy aromatic pale ale contains deliciously local hops for a kiwi version of the ever-popular IPA. It is also quenchingly bitter, while still having great balance and mouthfeel.

Draft. A cloudy dark golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has note of malt, hops, and lemons. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, lemons, and citrusy hops, leading to a dry finish. The body is light.

Hazy light amber. Thin head. Mandarin & mango aroma. Mild bitterness, 35 ibus, fruity, refreshing hops. Good balancing pale malt, but not as clean b/c of yeast as I’d like.
