We first saw our beer hit their taps in 2018, and subsequently brewed together in both 2019 and 2022. To celebrate their 8th anniversary, we've been excited to collaborate on a new beer that perfectly encapsulates the change from summer to autumn, an American Red IPA with a blend of classic US hops and NZ faves.
A deep scarlet malt base provides red berry sweetness, which is ballasted with a firm yet not overly assertive bitterness. Cascade and Simcoe bring citrus and pine to a beer that anticipates the coming season. Nelson and Riwaka add a juicy, tropical edge that's still firmly rooted in the last.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Practically a clear amber beer, with a small pale tan head. Light palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Really nice Red IPA, nice crisp caramel and toffee, not too sweet, modest malt cream. Crisp pine. Juicy and slightly ripe citrus, trace of Riwaka lime. Light finish. Nicely balanced and very quaffable.

Hazy amber beer, thick frothy head. Aroma is malty, hoppy and a little piney. Flavour follows suit. Bitter grapefruit, pine, a little peppery spice, some citrus, lots of malt and some grassiness. Crisp, punchy, fresh and very drinkable.
