Big Bunny

Tap to rate

A punchy hop wallop meets a creamy mouthfeel from the wheat in the grist, and crisp citrus runs through the middle. Golden in colour, hopped with American varieties, and built in the East Coast manner the brewery names itself. Big Bunny is the larger, juicier sibling of White Rabbit and has become one of the most-ordered beers of the range. The bitterness stays firm enough to keep the fruit from turning sweet.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with juicy citrus that carries from the nose, balanced by a creamy mouthfeel imparted by wheat in the grist. Mid-palate bitterness holds firm without turning harsh, preventing the fruit from slipping into sweetness and maintaining definition through to the close.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
