Get The Time

Tap to rate

A New Zealand pale ale on four hops, three of them from the experimental Bract programme: NZH 109, NZH 106 and Wai-iti, alongside Nelson Sauvin. Soft and juicy, with the classic New Zealand hop character. Originally brewed for the Little Summer Beer Bash — the brewery kept some of the trial hops back and has since contracted them. Five percent.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy, fruit-forward hop character that carries through the mid-palate without becoming astringent. A measured bitterness (approximately 50 IBU equivalent) arrives in the middle register, balancing the sweetness of light malt with crisp, refreshing acidity. The finish is dry and clean, with lingering citrus and a faint herbal note.

Serve at 7–10°C

Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
