A unique celebration of some of New Zealand’s finest wild food. Brewed using hand smoked pōhutukawa malt and finished with foraged kawakawa leaves and an addition of Moon Shell clams to the boil. Rich sweet amber malt, savoury smoke and spicy kawakawa meld with a subtle hint of ocean brine.
Originally brewed for the Hokitika Wild Food Festival.

Bottle from Hop Shop, Frankston & shared with my bro. Poured clear mid gold with minor beige foam. Smoked malts, with kawakawa leaves (no idea) and clams. It's mellow rauch smoky with a salty streak running through at the end. Lightly dry. Medium body, low carbonation. It's certainly different but it's my kinda beer.
