Beer Recipes
NZ HAZY IPA
Pours with a typical haze for the style. Fruit dominates on the nose, smooth bodied and the juicy finish make this an instant classic in the line up.
NZ IPA
Light coloured and bright. Aroma jumping from the glass. An array of tropical fruit and citrus that carry through into the flavour. A good balance of malt body, bitterness and flavour make this very flavoursome but approachable with high drinkability. A real display of quintessential NZ hop flavour.
NZ LAGER
Aimed at ultimate refreshment. This is an uncomplicated but highly crushable lager for those occasions when you don't want to over-think it and just grab a beer. Light bodied with a late gift of Motueka™ to give the beer some character. An everyday quaffer.
NZ PACIFIC ALE
Pours with a light haze from protein and not yeast. Passionfruit and tropical aromas on the nose. Light bodied and refreshing. Lower ABV helps maintain sessionabilty. A style that has a place at almost every occasion. Fruity, light and refreshing.
NZ PILSNER
Presents a bright straw with solid white foam. Aromas of bright citrus and tropical fruit with a touch of spice in the background. Fresh cracker like Pilsner malt flavour with the body supporting the hops, well balanced by the bitterness. Overall easy drinking and a great showcase of the kiwi hop varieties.
NZ SESSION ALE
A perfect beer for the beach, BBQ or anywhere you're after a tasty beer with a lighter alcohol content. Light in colour and body but big on flavour. Aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit and stone fruit carry into the flavour. Very well balanced and highly sessionable.
NZ XPA
Bright yellow colour with solid white foam. Passionfruit, lychee and pineapple jump from the glass. Light bodied but well balanced and highly drinkable.

Chemical Usage and MRLs
The New Zealand hop industry is in the enviable position of having a low pest and disease environment.
Its isolated geographic location combined with strict border controls and a hop plant breeding programme targeting pest and disease resistant varieties has proven to be a real winner.
The result is that New Zealand uses far less chemical spray than many other hop producing countries. This is a major and often overlooked advantage of using New Zealand hop varieties. As consumers become ever more curious, sophisticated and demanding of transparency, this aspect of beer production is likely to become very important.
Our farms never use fungicides, as we do not have the likes of Downy mildew nor Powdery mildew present in our hop gardens.
We endeavour to control the one hop plant pest we do have - a mite that can reduce hop yields - through biological means, in order to keep the use of pesticides to an absolute minimum.
We use sheep to control weeds in our hop gardens, which reduces the need to spray for weeds.
Our hop products comply with stringent Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) around the world, but for us this is just the beginning as we look to go above and beyond what is achievable elsewhere.
