Embrace the Garagista spirit - ignore convention, experiment, test the limits, and look at things a little differently. Brewed and double dry hopped with New Zealand, Australian and US hops, resulting in tropical, resin and pine flavours. Great things can come from the garage.

[33cl can from a supermarket in NZ.] An amber pour with a thin cream coloured head; crisp citrusy aroma some pine resin; strong resinous bitterness to start, then some chewy caramel malts; followed by some sharp grapefruit and a gentle warmth in the belly. A good West Coast style IPA.

Backlog October 2016. Unclear orange body under a big, creamy off-white head. Strong aroma of malt, mature fruit, grapefruit and pine. Taste is medium sweet malt with strong fruit flavor, grapefruit, mango, pine and nice bitterness. Nice modern IPA.

Orange body with okay foam and heavy carbonation, soft rotting hops aroma on the nose. Flavour is semi sweet hops with a very vague malt profile. Good oiliness. Not an ourstanding IPA but a serviceable local one.

Det er vel ingen feil med den, men jeg begynner å bli lei av heftige ipa'er, selv om de har masse flavour og tåke, så er de bare bittre

Tap at Garage 91 Aro Slight hazy dark golden with off white head. Mango, sweet malts, light caramel, dank hops, papaya, lychee, soft fresh baked bread. Super clean with great malts base and lovely fruity hops. Medium sweet and bit over medium bitter. Medium bodied. Damn this brewery can do no wrong.
