Chief Brewer, Simon Nicholas, says “We were super excited to create this beer using NZ Hops’ trial hop NZH-104. At 5.5% ABV and with such great flavour and aroma, it’s a brew that we’re extremely proud of.”

He adds, “To create this IPL, or India Pale Lager, we used a super light malt base to really showcase the hop flavours and give us a super light, crisp and clean beer. Using all local hops and malt, this brew ticks all the boxes for us.”

Now available to order in 440ml cans and 50L keg. For details on pricing and ordering information, contact brews@hopfederation or visit hopfederation.co.nz.
