Stand well back, it's time for weightier matters. Deadlift drops a ton of Citra, Rakau and Nelson Sauvin into a powerful Double IPA that punches you in the nose, overwhelms your palate and leaves you in a daze of citrus, stonefruit, gooseberry, grape and pear. Heavy lifting even for the committed hop fanatic so bend your knees and don't use your back like crane.

Goses are soured salty wheat ales with lemon, lime, coriander and such, not usually dry hopped. But then the Bract Project chose Boneface for an exclusive experiment with one of their new varieties. Enjoy the citrus and tropical fruit delights of NZH-106.

This ever so slightly Hazy Pale Ale shows lots of robust hop character while staying light on its feet.

Take a big bite of hops on a crisp malt base and you've got a grapefruit and passionfruit IPA that will drive you dental.

A great APA is the backbone of any beer line up, especially one with this kind of light body and medium bitterness.

Welcome to the Joint Venture Project. A series of brewhouse two-headers featuring Boneface and some of their favourite breweries. First off they're dropping in with the legends at Mt Maunganui's Mount Brewing. Since both head brewer's have polish roots, the idea of a Grodziskie-style Smoked Ale drifted by. Prepare yourself for a ground swell of oak-smoked wheat malt breaking in a frothy wave of carbonation.

Brewed in honour of American bootleggers from the Prohibition days, this APA is loaded with malt characters, citrus notes, all-American aroma hops and a crisp bitter finish. Enjoy it before someone makes fun illegal again.
