Hum

Tap to rate

Hum is the brewery's regular pale ale, brewed with oats and wheat and heavily hopped with Idaho 7, Motueka and Cashmere. It is fermented with an experimental yeast strain that the brewery credits with a voluptuous body and ripe tropical fruit flavours. The hop bill points towards lime, melon and stone fruit with a light resinous edge. The beer is hazy and soft, moderately bitter and juicy rather than dry in the finish.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and full-bodied, the oat and wheat bill delivering a silken mouthfeel. Mid-palate reveals the tropical fruit character—melon and citrus—with a restrained but present bitterness (40 IBU) that sits comfortably rather than asserting itself. The finish leans juicy and slightly sweet, avoiding dryness entirely.
