TART KIWI GOOSEBERRY

A wee taste of home for our head brewer, Vinny, a sour loaded with Kiwifruit. The malt grist is packed with both Golden Naked Oats and Flaked Oats, for a silky, creamy mouthfeel, which gives balance to the tart kiwi.

We’ve used a touch of Nelson Sauvin hops to heighten the gooseberry flavour reminiscent of a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. A true slice of Aotearoa made in Alba.
