Introducing the NZ Pale Ale: A Sensory Journey of Hop Excellence!
With a harmonious blend of Taiheke hops on the hot side and dry-hopped with the dynamic trio of Riwaka, Nectaron, and Nelson Sauvin hops, this beer delivers an extraordinary hop-forward experience that will captivate your senses.
The combination of Gladfield Light Crystal and Toffee malt, beautifully layered upon a base of American Ale malt, creates a sturdy foundation for the hops to shine. This grain bill contributes a subtle sweetness and a touch of caramel complexity, complementing the hop profile without overpowering it.
With each sip, you'll discover the remarkable flavours that these hops bring to the forefront. The Taiheke hops, added during the whirlpool, mimicking hop dipping, infuses the beer with a vibrant burst of citrus zest, lime and grapefruit, tantalising your taste buds from the first sip.
The dry hopping takes the flavour experience to new heights as the Riwaka hops provide distinctive grapefruit and resinous notes, the Nectaron hops contribute juicy tropical and stone fruit flavours, and the Nelson Sauvin hops add a distinctively vinous and white wine-like character, with hints of gooseberry and passion fruit.
Balancing the hop intensity is a moderate bitterness that showcases the hops' full potential without overwhelming the palate. The result is a beer that offers a harmonious interplay between the vibrant hop flavours and the smooth, malt-driven body, ensuring a balanced and enjoyable drinking experience.

ATF No Daze Haze is full of juicy hazy goodness and is only 3.1% (if brewed to spec). Wonderfully smooth with plenty of citrus and tropical fruit flavour and aroma it is almost like drinking the best fruit juice you've ever had.
Note on Dry Hopping
We recommend reducing the temperature of the beer to 16℃ before dry hopping to reduce the risk of the dry hop causing additional fermentation (dry hop creep) and increasing the ABV of the beer above the target 3.1%.
When cooling the beer we recommend capping the fermenter and using co2 to apply positive pressure (inside the fermenter) to avoid air being sucked in as the beer cools and shrinks as this may oxidise the beer.

English Strong Bitter is often referred to as English Pale Ale or Extra Special Bitters. It is characterised by a firm bitterness (often falling in the range of 30 to 50 IBUs), however it should not overpower the malt. Balance is important and most examples range from balanced to moderately bitter.
It should have a moderate hoppy flavour and aroma, with a complex malt and yeast character. It is common for caramel/crystal malts to be used.

Pours a hazy gold, crowned with a fluffy white head. The aroma is an enticing bouquet with classic notes of citrus and spice from the Witbier tradition, lifted by vibrant hops lifting the fruity citrus and spice to another level.
