It is always summer somewhere in the world & this beer celebrates that by focusing on the fruity New Zealand hop Rakau giving juicy apricot & peach flavours. We have backed this up with NZ big hitters Nelson Sauvin & Motueka hops for grape, citrus & grapefruit notes all on a pale malt body. Delicious anytime & in any season.
