New is better, Bitter? Not so much. A classic returns to the podium in a Savile Row suit and a Bristol flat cap. A rather gentlemanly sort of a drink. All class in the glass.
Rarotonga Island Haze IPA. The view of the lagoon from the plane, island magic. Hours in the water snorkeling with the turtles, thirsty now. Hops like these make for special island vibe under the coconut tree. Meitaki.
Throwing caution to the hot desert wind agave juice has been used in the ferment to dry and temper the malt, so experimental hop NZH-102 can dominate with tropical fruit and blueberry notes. Small additions of mosaic, simcoe and nelson sauvin complement in the production of this big juicy hazy.
This hero of a double IPA is ready to confront any foe with power and might. A big hitter with power notes of citrus and apricot, Dragon Slayer cuts through the chaos with a great dankness. This is a smooth, stealth-like hunter you will not see coming.
Lakeman's hand-picked mixed six selection. Stacked full of award-winning brews from Pilsners to IPA's and the odd seasonal release. It might just be the most-awarded Hairy Box in New Zealand.
Introducing Lakeman's new release 3×2 box of Haze, Haze for Dayz. This should hit all the right notes for lovers of hazy's. Joining their biggest seller 5 O'clock Somewhere are two brand-spanking new hazy IPA's Mornin' Glory and Sundowner. Mornin' Glory with an ABV of 5.5% has a fresh, zesty hit of citrus up front followed by sweeter mango notes. Sundowner is a little gem with its creamy body dominated by stone fruit and tropical flavours and comes in at 5.8%.
For the lovers of Double hazy's! Cryo Sabro, Cryo Talus, Citra, and Nelson Sauvin produces a tropical juice bomb with a glorious flavour profile of coconut, mango, peach, citrus, and grape.
Touched by divine inspiration... or just an honest thirst chasing salvation one step at a time, the latest offering from the church of Lakeman (charitable status pending). Brewed with the purest water and blessed with notes of ripe apricot, juicy peach and bright tangelo this is a heavenly drop worthy of worship.
The humble road cone, a symbol of caution, seems to trigger a special kind of madness. This beer channels that cone-fuelled delirium into something a little more productive. The layered IPA showcases Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka whole-cone hops, delivering bursts of passionfruit and lime upfront, backed by punchy Sauvignon notes and an oily decadence that comes from using whole cones.
