Our house NZ hopped hazy IPA. Designed specifically around some of our favorite hop varietals grown in New Zealand, Peacharine and Nectaron. These hops come together for an explosion of pineapple, citrus, dank grape, orange blossom. Matamata boasts an incredibly soft finish, lending to massive drinkability.

Pours very hazy pale / golden blonde with a thin head that sticks around. On the nose I'm getting some grapefruit, orange, pine, & rosemary. Similar taste with hints of cream, navel orange, piney resin, herbs, & a nice undercurrent of woodiness. Honestly surprised by how much I'm digging this - finishes smooth with a a supple mouthfeel & no hint of booziness.
