How do we go about deconstructing an IPA exactly? Well first, we’ve included three single hop IPAs so you can see what each of these hops are bringing to the party. The final 473mL can in this festive four pack combines all three hops so you can taste how they all come together for one truly delicious dance party on your palate. Two of the hops included here have a notable link to our brewing past with the final hop chosen because of how much fun we’re been having brewing with it recently. After all, there’s nothing we love more than finding delicious new hop varieties that get our brewer’s imaginations running wild.
Released by New Zealand’s plant and food research in 2015 and named after the Maori word for Island, Moutere is a dual-purpose hop that’s high in both alpha acid and oil content. Moutere is a hop that our current brew team has loved and is representative of some of the contemporary hops that we are brewing with. You may have even see it pop up from time to time as a special release in our Tasting Room. Our brew team has been having a fun time exploring the range of this hop and we’re thrilled to share the results with you here. This relatively new variety imparts intense citrus, tropical fruit, and resinous pine, making it ideal for modern IPAs.

Bright and clean golden to amber colour, small head. Gentle aroma of sugars and malt, lightly floral on the nose. Good body strength, some residual sugars, but well balanced by the bold bitterness; the malt is bready and biscuity, the hop is resinous, light pine, light coloured caramel. It's clean, not as bright as a fully modern IPA, but it's well brewed.
