A highly drinkable Kiwi / US / Brit-pop beer with a foot in three worlds. This modern classic blends the best of New Zealand, American and British brewing traditions into one glass — a vibrant celebration of the hops, malt and people that shaped our brewery.
Expect floral, hoppy aromas up front with zesty citrus and light tropical fruit, all balanced by chewy caramel and wine-biscuit malt flavours. Smooth, approachable and bursting with character, it’s a beer designed for easy drinking yet full of depth — a nod to the folks who were the driving force behind our brewery and the craft beer movement itself.
