Tiger Bliss blurs the boundary between Pale Ale and IPA, a New Zealand pale that announces itself through stone fruit and citrus. Peach, pineapple and passion fruit dominate the aromatic profile, while a secondary layer of crushed gooseberry, white pepper and white wine grape notes adds complexity and grip. The mouthfeel is full and fluffy, rounding out the intensity without softening the fruit character. At 5.8%, this is a beer for the late afternoon—substantial enough to sustain interest, light enough to drink without fatigue. Chill to five degrees and pour into a standard pint glass to let the aromatic oils breathe.

Aroma

The nose is immediately inviting, leading with ripe peach and stone fruit notes that give way to tropical fruit—pineapple and passion fruit—in the mid-range. A secondary layer of crushed gooseberry, white pepper, and white wine grape characters adds aromatic depth and a subtle spice that elevates the profile beyond simple fruitiness. The overall impression is complex and herbaceous without aggressive hop presence.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Tiger Bliss

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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
Recommended for this style

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.
