Beach House
Beach House is the brewery's best-selling cask pale ale and the regular handpull at its own taproom, brewed with Motueka, Mosaic and Simcoe. The brewery names citrus, stone fruit and lime as the leading notes; retailers and drinkers add a light tropical fruitiness and describe the beer as clean and crisp. At 3.8% the body is light and the hop character sits in the foreground without much weight from the malt. It has been on the range since 2018 and is no longer confined to cask.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Beach House
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.
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.
