Description
Owner Matt, developed the Boneface craft beer brand from a love of all things beer and sci-fi. All beers are cleverly crafted to incorporate Planet Hoptron (that’s the Planet of Hops, if you are wondering), and it’s inhabitants.
Bringing the goodness of Planet Hoptron to Upper Hutt was a no-brainer – Matt’s brewing background and passion for craft beer fit perfectly into the burgeoning Upper Hutt craft beer mecca. Whilst brewing the favourites, he’s always in a parallel universe, developing new and innovative craft beer flavours for you to try.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy golden - orange with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, tangy apricot, mango, orange marmalade, spicy, rye bread, touch of ginger, mango salsa and orangeade. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, pleasing bitterness which lingers, tangy orange citrus, marmalade, grapefruit, apricot, kumquat, nip of pine, resin, sappy, touch of prickly spice, mango salsa and some green vibes with a drying, spiky finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Bright, fruity and spicy. Surprised me how good this is. Very moreish.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Beautiful Beers. Pours just slightly hazy yellow-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Lightly sweet with mild lemony tartness, relaxed fleshy mango, some pale bread, mild acidity. Light bodied with average carbonation. Good balance in the finish, bright citrus and mango, refreshing restrained tartness. Very drinkable beer.
