Bright, golden Cali style IPA, hopped with the finest, hand selected, harvest fresh Nelson Sauvin loaded with intense passionfruit, bright gooseberry and tropical juicebox aromatics. Nuff said really.

If you hanker for a vibrant, clean IPA low on bitterness but big on flavour jump on the Flying Circus. It will barrel roll you with popping sweet navel and tropical delights leaving a trace of low altitude bitterness.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again... and reflecting how fortunate they are to outsource their brewing & packaging to Steam Brewing, whose team, passion, endless investment, and expertise are such an integral part of Bach for 11 years now. Juiced in Otahuhu is brewed with Idaho, Mosaic, Motueka, Nectaron and Superdelic hops on a juicy base of Gladfield malts.

As the King of the Jungle would attest, imitation is sometimes the sincerest form of flattery. This copycat, based on the original West Coast IPA, delivers upfront citrus and tropical fruits with a great dankness and bitterness throughout because sometimes it is just better to copy a classic.

In an age where median strips ruled and Google Maps reigned supreme, a noble band of Traffic Knights took to the streets of New Plymouth armed with foam swords, discount chainmail, and a deep respect for road rules. These Crosswalk Crusaders chose peak-hour traffic for a dramatic duel on the city's main street, dashing into battle in 20 second green-lit increments and demanding right of way in the name of noble honour and a great photo-op. Their legacy lives on in this bold West Coast IPA - bursting with piney bitterness and citrussy American hops, it's a toast to those brave souls who would give way to no one except maybe a Ford Ranger.

Panhead have cranked up an old-school malt-based ginger beer recipe with bold citrus forward hops for a spicy, zesty and refreshing pale ale with a smooth caramel hit.

Introducing Hop Buddies #43: Don & Vlad, a Hazy IPA so good, it could broker the worst kind of peace talks. These two go together like sanctions and loopholes, swapping hops while the world burns brighter than their spray tans and propaganda machines combined. Behemoth have double downed on the haze with Citra and El Dorado hops, because seeing things clearly was never their strong suit anyway. So crack this can, toast to unlikely friendships, and while Don & Vlad are busy playing Risk with the planet, at least your biggest threat (right now...) is an empty glass.

In the quiet halls of Miramar's favorite abbey on Park Road, one monk has taken his devotion to brewing to new heights - discovering Dubbel Vision! After sampling a bit too much of his own creation, he found a new purpose: helping others join in his sensory experience that's rich, complex, and oh-so-satisfying. This Belgian Dubbel features a multidimensional makeup of a Pilsner malt base, complemented by European specialty malts like Caramunich, Special B, and Extra Dark Crystal, resulting in an authentic malt-forward experience that might just be a calling to Trappist-style brews, seeking the divine.

Even the King of the Underworld needs a best friend. For Hades, that was Cerberus, his three headed doggo. While his extra heads made him a triply good guard dog, he did chew through a lot of sandals. This West Coast IPA is Emerson's triple dry hopped tribute to the hound of Hades. They've used four different breeds of hop, Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe and Mosaic, to create this boisterous mutt, with a fruit salad bomb of flavour. At 6.7% you might want to share it with at least one other head.
