THIS BEER IS
As you’d expect from a New Zealand hop variety, Kohatu contributes bags of tropical fruit, but with loads of lime notes, & pineapple hits. Seriously fruity, with sweet, juicy melon and stonefruit notes.

BREWER'S TIP
New Zealand hops are in short supply - club together with other brewers to try and get hold of some, or ask your local brewery if you can buy small amounts from them.
