Based on the 'Ichiban Shibori' method that uses only the first squeezed wort that flows out of the wort filtration process, Kirin have adopted a new dark malt to achieve a rich flavour with reduced impurities and astringency. They have adopted a 'dark lager type' as a new beer style, and have created a clear aftertaste that harmonizes with the umami of the barley. This 'dark lager type' beer uses bottom-fermenting yeast and is fermented slowly at low temperatures. It has a mellow taste of dark malt and a subtle sweetness, but the aftertaste is firm and free of impurities.
Kronenbourg 1664 is a perfectly balanced lager, slightly bitter, soft, crisp and noble. Brewed using the Strisselspalt hop known as the 'caviar of hops' which gives the beer its refined bitterness, balanced with a hint of fruity and floral aroma.
This Hazy IPA is the perfect breakfast, brunch, lunch, smoko, dinner or last call beer with its sweet citrus taste and hazy good looks because you know it is 5 o'clock somewhere.
Throwing caution to the hot desert wind agave juice has been used in the ferment to dry and temper the malt, so experimental hop NZH-102 can dominate with tropical fruit and blueberry notes. Small additions of mosaic, simcoe and nelson sauvin complement in the production of this big juicy hazy.
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.
This hero of a double IPA is ready to confront any foe with power and might. A big hitter with power notes of citrus and apricot, Dragon Slayer cuts through the chaos with a great dankness. This is a smooth, stealth-like hunter you will not see coming.
Lakeman have embraced the Dubai Chocolate trend and created an indulgent pastry stout. A sweet and creamy chocolate malt base balanced with a little roastiness, and earthy pistachio creates a decadent stout.
Lakeman's hand-picked mixed six selection. Stacked full of award-winning brews from Pilsners to IPA's and the odd seasonal release. It might just be the most-awarded Hairy Box in New Zealand.
For the lovers of Double hazy's! Cryo Sabro, Cryo Talus, Citra, and Nelson Sauvin produces a tropical juice bomb with a glorious flavour profile of coconut, mango, peach, citrus, and grape.
Two Liberty fan faves in one; easy-drinking Oh Bro, and Jungle Juice - the untamed, palate-pounding Hazy. With the best bits of each brew carefully blended and balanced by hop savant, Juice Bro's soft mats highlight the citrusy pomelo and orange stylings of Mosaic and Amarillo cones.
This opaque, cross-country juggernaut matches an East Coast yeast style to West Coast hops and refuses to filter the results. The malt's deliberately soft so the Mosaic and Amarillo cones get to dictate terms, mostly by saturating your palate in passionfruit and pineapple. Welcome to the jungle and so forth.
