Reach dizzying heights at the peak of Aoraki with this fruity mix of fresh and juicy New Zealand hops. Four hop varieties added at various stages throughout the brew make this a DIPA to be reckoned with.
Full to the brim with flavours of tropical and stone fruits and a soft biterness on the finish. Crack open this can and celebrate the success at the peak of your day.

Murky golden brown with a bubbly white head and a big dank aroma. Soupy mouthfeel with dank fruit and hops to the fore.

400ml can bought at a Tesco in Leicester and drunk at home. A slightly alarming peach/orange, hazy with a small white head. Light orange juice and pineapple aroma. Its present but doesn't hit you across the nose like a lot of strong IPAs. Mostly sweet with some bitter hop burn all the way through. Not the best balance and a bit unwieldy but decent enough overall.

440 ml can, as Vocation Special Edition Aoraki DIPA, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.0%. Opaque "dirty yellow" to brownish-orange colour, moderate white head. A bit "unclean" aroma of various over-ripe tropical fruits. The flavour has some citrus in addition to said "unclean" notes of over-ripe tropical fruits, but lacks freshness and bitterness.

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Lacing rings from a stable, white head. Unclear golden body. Moderate aromas of dusty hops and a touch of mango. Canned fruity flavours, hints of peaches, backbone of juicy malts. Long-lived, smooth, bittersweet fruity ending, developing fruity sweetness after a white in the glass. Well bodied. Satisfying.

3rd August 2022 KeyKeg. Hazy beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry with a good fine minerally carbonation. Light creamy sweet malts. Crisp pine. A little hop spice. Bright and spicy hop fruits. Light crisp finish shows a pleasing balance of creamy sweet malts and spicy ripe citrus. Light dri crisp finish leaves a long spicy finish. Good.
