September in Wellington: nature says spring, while the wind tries to blow us back into winter.
Light lager, rolled oats, wheat malt and chitted wheat: a solid FRESH grist base to build on, with plenty of the building blocks you need for that smooth mouthfeel and haze.
The hop bill is a mix of big name US stars, and a good whack of local talent. Freestyle Southern Cross and Citra cryo build the foundation of the beer at the end of the hot side, followed by NZ Cascade and Riwaka alongside more Citra and Simcoe in the dry hop. The aroma from the glass is straight up mango and tangerine.
Then, that all important first sip. Great mouthfeel, sweet and satisfying, but not cloying and - there they are again; masses of juicy mango and tangerine, coming in with sweet fruit and finishing with clean citrus. It's super juicy and super drinkable and I want another sip.
Is it two dimensional? If it is, it's two dimensions we can really get behind.
