For Jason's namesake brew, Idaho 7 & Riwaka hops make a joyful noise! And like Head Brewer Jason, it's a hybrid: NZ/American Pale Ale. Soft malt sweetness & masterfully balanced bitterness back up candied clementine through & through for an extended, orange-laden finish. Can you have just one?

A mash up of Belgian Unicorn yeast from Froth Tech & a truck load of local Riwaka from Clayton Hops make this unique ale a showy, cloudy summer smasher! Complex herb & fruit salad aromas of banana, passionfruit, capsicum & riesling-like diesel. Biscuity malts bolster smooth bitterness, a smidgen of spice & shiny emerald hoppiness. Medium-bodied yet dry with a pleasing punchy finish, it's IPA to the max for real beer lovers.

For this succulent lip-smacker, Aliment Brewing loaded equal parts Nelson Sauvin + Nectaron so it's all luscious grapefruit & sticky green with lush tropical undertones. Pleasantly bitter & mouth-filling.

This NZ IPA is like a long drive along the west coast, beautiful and classically Kiwi with clean green pungent hop aromas. A clear gold pour takes the journey to a subtle clean maltiness, a smooth feature packed palate with an assertive bitterness to round off the trip.
