Over Time

Tap to rate

Over Time is a gluten-free New Zealand cask pale that presents hops from the 2026 harvest: Nelson Sauvin, Motueka and Wai-iti. Light additions of spelt and caramalt add a subtle warmth in the background, while tropical notes, pops of zest and a juicy richness sit up front. Lime, stone fruit and gooseberry are the notes it is built around. At 4.0% it is an easy-drinking pale, and it is vegan.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and juicy, with immediate tropical and citrus character that builds across the palate. Mid-palate reveals layered stone fruit and gooseberry notes, balanced by a gentle 35 IBU bitterness that remains restrained and integrated. The malt provides a subtle caramel sweetness that grounds the hop-forward profile without creating heaviness.

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.
