A double dry-hopped hazy IPA loaded to the brim with southern hemisphere hops. A trinity of Riwaka, Motueka and Nelson Sauvin interplay for a complex and satisfying drinking experience. Expect aromas of mixed citrus fruits supported by subtle herbs. A plethora of flavours come through; apricot and orange giving way to lemon and lime with background notes of basil and figs. A healthy dosing of oats lead to a permanent haze and thick mouthfeel
DDH NZ IPA. Nelson sauvin, riwaka, motueka.

Can from Morrisons. Hazy pale golden bush with a thick off-white head. No visible carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of peach, lemon sponge and grapefruit zest. Flavour of orange peel and grass. Thin to medium body with a slick mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A light and simple IPA.

Hazy yellow with a white, fluffy head. The aroma features maltiness along with notes of tropical fruit and citrus. The taste is juicy, moderately bitter, with delicate citrus and peppery notes and a zesty albedo bitterness with a hint of pine. The beer is full-bodied yet not heavy, with light carbonation and a slightly warming finish. Pleasantly drinkable.

Can. More Reasons. Hazed light lemony straw colour. Slim super sticky white foam. Nose has milky oats. Some greenery. Bit of NZ twang. Taste is light bitter with an inevitable milky sweetness (wouldn’t have got into Morrison’s without it?). Anyway overall it drinks easy. Light bitter finish. Good value on a drinkable bev.

New Year's Eve 2025 Beers #2 of 3. Penultimate beer of 2025 and it's a hazy golden one. It's crips tasting with an exotic fruitiness to be found in both aroma and taste, perhaps a little understated through a dryness, but worthy enough.
