Brewed with 5 different New Zealand hops including Nelson Sauvin, this hazy IPA is fruity and juicy from the get-go but also showcases the unique piney, grassy, and earthy qualities of NZ hops. A beautiful balance of juicy hops, fruity esters and bitterness. We brewed this beer on New Years Eve in the UK, which is New Years Day in NZ, so it's a true cross time-zoned beer to bring in 2021!

Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy palate, slightly soft, quite a modest fine carbonation here. Fluffy malts, a light creamy sweetness. A rubbery skunk from the otherwise attractive hop bill. Smooth pine. A little juicy citrus and mild tropical fruits. A sprinkle of hop spice. There may be subtler NZ hop characteristics here but I don't want to linger with this pervasive rubbery skunk vibe. Okay.

Creamy white head left a cover & collar on a hazy pale gold body. Hopped up juice bomb aroma with pineapple & mango. Medium bodied, clean, dry & lots of lacing. Mango, pineapple, stone fruit & grape tastes with a tangy bitter finish. Good one.
