About
Our first love was the hazy, hoppy New England style pales and IPAs so you'll find plenty of these on our menus. Although we have three core beers (Cosmic Dust, Termination Shock and Galaxies Apart), we love experimenting so you can expect new releases every month to keep things interesting. We've recently started testing the water with some sours and stouts...more of these to come soon.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A medium haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, a very mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a lovely light creamy sweetness. The hop array here is a pure delight, punchy candyish tropical fruits, soft pine, a little hop spice. Mango, passion fruit, mild skunk, a little hop spice. Just a lovely juicy richness to this one, I suspect NZH109 has much to do with it. Finishes light and smooth. A delight.

440ml can. Pours almost black with a beige head. Aroma of chocolate, caramel, vanilla. Taste of chocolate, caramel, vanilla, light roast malt, nutty biscuit, light-moderate bitterness. Sweet for the style but that bitterness does linger making it feel a little more balanced than it actually is. Medium bodied. Really enjoyed this actually.

Sweet and malty. Notes of caramel, toasted malts. Soft earthy hops. Basic but drinkable.
