This year, the Emerson's Brew Crew went to Clayton Hop Farm on an important mission to harvest a bounty of the freshest Nelson Sauvin hops. And when you pick fresh hops, you get Sticky Digits. Resinous, lupulin covered hands, and a rich, smooth, fresh hop hazy IPA, with grapey, gooseberry, limey flavours. They've got sticky, now it's time for you to get stuck in.

Roving. It's something the Irish have in their blood. They turn up in far flung corners of the world, make everyone celebrate St Patrick's Day, and drink stout. Not that anyone is complaining of course. Wild Rover will take your taste buds for a bit of a wander, from a fruit and caramel beginning, through a mazy of smoky notes, arriving at a vibrant bitter end. Open this can and get going.

New Zealand's first American style IPA, released in 2008, has gone on to be New Zealand's most awarded beer. In recent years, it has won six back to back Best in Class trophies around the world including New Zealand, Australia and Sweden.

This is a classic West Coast (USA) style IPA. It has a dry finish, with limited malt sweetness, which accentuates the hop flavour and hop bitterness. So the beer is punchy on hop flavour, and firm lingering hop bitterness. The bitterness is 66 IBU - hoppy, bitter, dry.

After the massive success of Blue Low Carb Pale Ale Epic now have a Hazy joining their low carb family. Crush is a fresh and fruity hazy pale ale with full flavour and 75% less carbs than their Joose Party Hazy Pale Ale.

High Voltage is a hazy IPA that's all about harnessing the energy of two powerhouse hops: Citra and Mosaic. From the first sip, you're hit with a surge of tropical goodness - think juicy mango, ripe pineapple, and a burst of citrus that dances on your tongue. The Mosaic hops add a layer of complexity with subtle berry undertones, while Citra delivers a bright, refreshing citrus punch. High Voltage is more than just a beer; it's a vibrant, electrifying experience that keeps your taste buds buzzing long after the glass is empty.

Epic have used an 'Epic' amount of hops as you would expect from them. Epic have the biggest, juiciest, stickiest Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops they could find. A blend of T90 and Cryo hops to give the maximum desired aromas and flavours. It's like drizzling freshly squeezed passion fruit, mango and pineapple juice across your tongue. 5.3% alc/vol and a super low bitterness and maximum haze, will keep every Hazy-Head happy with being able to sit down and drink a few from the six pack.

On the palate, Magical Unicorn offers an intricate tapestry of flavours. Tropical fruits dominate, with mango and melon taking centre stage, complemented by hints of peach and blueberry. The malt backbone provides just enough sweetness to support the fruitiness, while the bitterness is clean and crisp, coming through with an assertive citrus and pine note that adds depth and balance. The finish is dry and remarkably clean, with a lingering bitterness that beckons the next sip.

Multiball Hazy IPA presents a dense, golden haze that promises an explosion of flavour, much like the exhilarating chaos of a multiball in pinball. With the first sip, you're immersed in a wave of tropical bliss - juicy mango and ripe pineapple take centre stage, enhanced by a zesty citrus burst that dances on your palate. Mosaic hops introduce a hint of complexity with subtle berry notes, while Citra delivers a lively, refreshing citrus punch. Cascade hops elevate the profile further, adding grapefruit and lychee notes for a vibrant exploration of flavours. Just as in pinball, where the excitement builds as multiple balls fly around the playfield, each sip of Multiball brings a thrilling rush, igniting a sense of adventure and achievement as you savour the dynamic interplay of tastes.
