Beer Arivals

A few restocks and new arrivals...

Modus Operandi - HAZY Series #3 Hazy Mango 7.0%
The thick feel of Hazy 03 rolls over the tongue with its fruity sweetness, but once you’ve swallowed your sip - and if you can hold off on sipping for ten seconds and let the juiciness subside - a slowly building but powerful bitterness takes over as the remaining sensation. - Crafty Pint
Hawkers x Bale Beaker - Steph likes to Party IIPA 9.0%
In the glass it looks like a barleywine, thanks to its deep russet colour, and the 9.5 percent ABV puts it in that sort of space too. Yet it's designed for drinking young rather than ageing, with the 692 contributing a floral, fragrant rose and red berry perfume with, possibly, a hint of Chivers Olde English Marmalade in there too. The hop aromas do their best to distinguish themselves from the blanket of sweet toffee and cake crust that delivers what the colour promises, while it's almost like fruitcake to taste, albeit one with a splash of liqueur poured over the top. It's not as heavy as that might sound, however, making for a welcome follow up to last year's classy debut. - Crafty Pint

Pirate Life - Strong Pale Ale 6.0%
With a truck load of hops and a hefty 6% ABV, this is one power house of a beer! But there’s more to it than meets the eye… Brewed with a grain bill of Vienna and Pale malt, Strong Pale Ale shows nuance with the addition of Native Finger Lime and coriander seed. The nose is presented with citrus and resinous pine. On the palate, bold hops pair with a distinctly herbaceous appeal. Strong Pale Ale. The right kinda tough.

Pirate Life - Tropical IIPA 8.0%
This beer is everything you’d expect from a Pirate Life double IPA - equal parts best friend and bully! Brewed with premium malted barley, wheat and oats, it's been packed to the brim with NZ and US hops. You’ll get aromas of tropical fruit and citrus. The palate is juicy and sweet. And while the ABV is up, the IBUs are down, rendering this neon clad bomb highly crushable. Ready to pull the pin?
