This is where it all began... a garage in New Zealand, some local hops, a small cobbled together kit and against all odds an icon was born. Those same hops, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka are still present and correct in this, our love letter to the land of the long white cloud. NZ hops are characterised by their delicate citrus, fruit and floral notes, particularly the gooseberry, peach and white wine flavours of Nelson Sauvin. To match this we use a light malt bill with a decent amount of oats and wheat to create texture and mouthfeel. It’s the sort of beer that will make you want to abscond to the shores of the South Island never to return.

Clear gold with a frothy, white head. Lychee aroma. Grapefruit. Taste is moderate bitter, mildly citric, accompanied by a faint tartness at the finish. Light bodied, moderate carbonation, moderately watery texture. Feels like the body is MIA. Drinkable.

Tap @ True North Bar, Stavanger. Slightly unclear pale golden body with a small white head. Strong aroma of tropical fruit, flowers and perfume. Flavor is smooth pale malt, citric and tropical fruit, flowers, herbs and decent bitterness. Medium body and average aftertaste. Decent enough.
