Introducing ATF Triple Threat, a Hazy IPA with an Intense fusion of New Zealand Hops for the Hophead Connoisseur!

Dry hopped with a mighty combination of Riwaka, Taiheke, and Motueka hops at a generous 12.2 grams per litre, this hazy IPA delivers a triple punch of hop goodness that will leave your taste buds in awe.

With the first sip, ATF Triple Threat unveils a multi-layered hop profile that showcases the best of New Zealand's hop varieties. The Riwaka hops bring forth a burst of tropical citrus, infusing the beer with vibrant notes of grapefruit and passion fruit. Taiheke hops add a touch of complexity, contributing a delightful blend of citrus zest. Meanwhile, the Motueika hops lend their distinctive aroma of fresh lime and lemon, adding a zingy and refreshing twist.

Amidst this hop symphony, ATF Triple Threat maintains a perfect balance. The malt backbone provides a sturdy foundation, offering a touch of sweetness that harmonises with the hop-forward nature of the beer. The result is a beer that is both bold and approachable, inviting you to explore its complex flavours sip after sip.
