Croucher Pale Ale 330Ml

$4.20 330 MLS

The Croucher boys in Rotorua have had a very successful year picking up awards left right and centre. One taste of the boy’s Pale Ale leaves you in no doubt as to why they have done so well with a complex marmalade like citrus hop aroma, rich caramel accented malt flavour and a zesty fresh hop finish. Truly one of the best aromas to come out of Rotorua.

Drink with: Grilled Steak and onions, Thai beef salad, fish and chips on the beach.

Massive up front fruit with freshly crushed grain. Passionfruit and lychees predominate with a stonefruit undertone - fruit salad on weetbix. Grassiness from three Nelson hop varieties compliment the fruit to give an aroma reminiscent of a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc but the grunt in the palate leaves you in no doubt that this is a very serious beer.

I'm off to the bach for New Year. Outlook is wet but after the weather we had for Christmas I'm sure the gardens need it.

Summer. Gin and tonic, riesling, rosé and, of course, hoppy craft beer.
