Brewed using Nelson Sauvin Hops this light golden ale has a crisp, dry bitter taste with hints of gooseberry and kiwi. ‘Whakatu’ (pronounced Fak-a-too) derives from the Maori name for ‘Nelson’ where the hops originate. Whakatu is a delightful zest of crisp fruit flavours.

Cask at the John Logie Baird (JDW), Hastings. Amber with a ring of translucent head; aroma of tropical fruit; sweet, tropical fruit flavour with some grapefruit adding a touch of bitterness; then a crisp fruity finish. Not bad.

Cask handpull at Ashford Kent. Pale gold thin head. Some yeast and hop on aroma. Reasonably hoppy needs more of everything more hops more malt backbone. Some sting on finish. Some biscuit.
