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.

Slightly hazy golden beer with a thin white head. Aroma is floral citrus with something else I can’t quite place. Flavour is bitter and lemony but with a slightly earthy aftertaste, perhaps from the malt.

Bottle from Deliciously Different. Cloudy yellow colour, white foam. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruit and a lemony touch. Light sweet with tart notes and fine bitter hoppy finish. Easy drinkable, very good.

Tap. Redwillow Bar, Macclesfield. 1st October. Hazy gold. Thin, white head. Is there Sorachi in this? Savoury. Grain. Light fust. Some rubber. Taste is savoury bitter. Crisp palate. Finishes zesty bitter. Unusual. Very nice, though.
