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.

Bottle, 0.33l. Hazy golden pour, half finger soapy white head, medium lasting. Some lacing on the glass. Fresh on the nose, good hop character, notes of citrus, grass and grains. Thin to medium body, medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel and texture, refreshingly prickly. Bittersweet taste, more on the bitter side, nicely balanced. Aroma of citrus, grass, grains and herbs, mild spiciness, touch of caramel in the background. Dry herbal finish, medium lasting. Solid.

Tap at 100 piv. Easy drinking, tasty and refreshing. Crisp zesty citrusy resiny hops character, also med-light biscuity cookie-ish maltiness. Hops have the upper hand here though, with med-med-high bitterness. Med-thin body, high carbonation.

Bottle at beer[malade] tastings. Hazy orange color with medium white head. Fruity aroma with tropical fruits, pineapples. Taste, solid malty base followed by nice citrus hoppy kick. Nice.
