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.

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%.

Lakeman is truly Taupo proud, and this New Zealand Pale Ale pays homage to their home. It is brewed with iconic Kiwi hops Riwaka and Moutere, giving bursts of passion fruit and citrus on an approachable malt.

Officially NZ's #1 IPA for 2022 as voted by the NZ Brewers Guild. This crushing double IPA, named for the legendary hop that predominates it, is one of New Zealand craft brewing's original palate benders, famous for squeezing every last drop of flavour and aroma from its American namesake. Strong notes of citrus shouldn't surprise anyone who reads the label.

Two Liberty fan faves in one; easy-drinking Oh Bro, and Jungle Juice - the untamed, palate-pounding Hazy. With the best bits of each brew carefully blended and balanced by hop savant, Juice Bro's soft mats highlight the citrusy pomelo and orange stylings of Mosaic and Amarillo cones.

This opaque, cross-country juggernaut matches an East Coast yeast style to West Coast hops and refuses to filter the results. The malt's deliberately soft so the Mosaic and Amarillo cones get to dictate terms, mostly by saturating your palate in passionfruit and pineapple. Welcome to the jungle and so forth.

Winner of the 2013 West Coast Challenge at the malthouse in Wellington - a palate-destroying smackdown you've got to experience to understand - Knife Party is a Swiss Army IPA featuring every US hop variety allowed through customs. If you heedlessly crave the hop, you've found the correct beer.

It sounds Japanese but it's as American as having a BMI of 32. The Yakima Valley in Washington state, situated in the top left corner of the lower 48, is home to some of our favourite hop varieties, the tiny green flavour bombs that powered the whole craft beer renaissance from the get go. Liberty is what it smells like.

A refreshing lager with floral and citrus notes from the late hopping of Taiheke and Mosaic. Moutere hops deliver a smooth bitterness to complement a mix of pilsner and wheat malts.

The whole hop flowers in the Pale Ale give it a serious citrus and stone fruit flavour, balanced with specialty malts and a hit of bitterness.

Do your eyes deceive you or is that a ghostly galleon laden with a bounty of juicy hops hidden in the mist? Set sail into the hazy unknown for a supernaturally fruity burst of tropical and citrus flavours followed by an eerily smooth finish. Gaining more and more popularity among craft beer aficionados and novices alike, hazy IPAs are characterised by juicy flavours, a big viscous mouthfeel and very smooth bitterness along with turbidity or cloudiness, giving the resulting beverage the appearance and flavour of a refreshing glass of alcoholic fruit juice.
