Nectar
A New England IPA brewed with pale malt, oats, wheat and Munich malt and heavily hopped with Cascade, Centennial, Mosaic and Amarillo. Mango, passionfruit, guava, pineapple and citrus fill the aroma, with a hint of lychee and grapefruit. Oats and wheat give a soft, creamy body, bitterness stays low, and a light sweetness keeps the juicy profile round. It succeeds Nectar of the Hops, one of the first beers of the style brewed in Australia, and has carried its current name since 2023.
