Looking for a destination in your glass? While we can’t physically transport you to the hop-growing southern island of New Zealand, we can offer you this liquid escape. Staggering amounts of Nelson, Nectaron, Riwaka and Mosaic hops give off a bouquet of tropical fruit, Sauvignon Blanc grapes and a dank, diesel finish. Visions of waterfalls, sheep and hobbits may ensue.

On tap at Abnormal, pours a semi-hazy bright golden orange with a small white head. Aroma has so much tangy, white wine-like hoppy goodness, plenty of dankness, and sweet biscuity malt underneath. Flavour is every bit as impressive, with a wonderful sauv blanc hop character, plenty of tanginess, and just enough sweet biscuity malt to back. Tangy, vinous and nicely bitter. Excellent expression of the NZ hops.
