Description
We started off in 1987 when Michael Erceg came into the brewing industry. He set out to break the strangling duopoly of the two big brewers, a tradition we continue today.
Michael was fiercely loyal to his staff and worked tirelessly at building his business until his tragic death in 2005 in a helicopter accident. His pioneering spirit can still be felt at the brewery on Boundary Road, which nestles in the foothills of the Hunua ranges south of Auckland. Here the great tradition of independent New Zealand brewing continues using natural ingredients and skilled brew masters.

Bottle shared in our Queenstown hostel th is to Jean-Mi. Lear light amber with off white head. Caramel, light flowery, bready, bitter herbs, light lager crisp malty stuff, lots of weird bitter herbs that are not really hops, soft pine. Medium sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with crisp feel. Not an IPA, but Iβve had worse.

Bottle sampled thanks to Jean Mi. Clear mover with off white head. Sweet caramel, light toffee, grapefruit, weedy hops, bready. Over medium sweet and medium bitter. Over medium bodied. This doesnβt do what it says. Meh.

500ml bottle, at 5.5% and sadly without a moose on the bottle any more. Dark pour with a nice brown head. Chocolate, sherry, vanilla, sugar, bitter roast. Slightly over carbonated. The sweetness comes first and then the bitterness and then a slightly metallic over sweet finish. Not quite right.
