NZ IPA - (6.5% ABV)

Flavours: Riwaka brings bold tropical and citrus notes, while Motueka layers in zesty lime, lemon drop and mojito-like notes. Freestyle’s new Limequat blend fires off fresh tropical lime, citrus and a subtle floral edge. Fermented with WLP008 East Coast Ale Yeast, it pours hazy, drinks juicy, and packs saturated NZ hop flavour from first sniff to final sip.

Ardnamurchan 'Heritage Barley Release' 59.2%

This new release from Ardnamurchan is a first for the distillery, made from Golden Promise barley, a varietal that is rarely grown today. This whisky is distillate-led, revealing and highlighting the character of the barley and how it was distilled. The aroma is an explosion of barley, melted butter and honey, with notes of digestive biscuits, apricot jam and marzipan. The palate is sumptuously fatty and oily, with marzipan again, and more nuts joining notes of orange cake and baked apples. Buttery and rich with toasted coconut and orchard fruits in the finish, this is an expression that shows the very essence of this unique barley.

"Bottled just one month before my tasting, Clape’s 2023 Cornas opens with a deep, introverted bouquet of cassis, mulberries and licorice mingled with carnal notes. Medium- to full-bodied, dense and structured, it’s built around a firm, somewhat austere palate with a good chassis of youthful tannins that lead to a spicy, lead pencil-inflected finish. Despite its brooding character, it should benefit from time in the cellar."

A hay-yellow blanche, with a slightly hazy and cloudy appearance and a moderate, fine head. The scents are pleasantly citrusy and subtle aromas of spices gradually intensify as the beer becomes warmer.

When sipped, it releases a beautiful harmony of cereals and citrus fruits, which mix and blend creating a delicate flowery and spicy balance. The finish is slightly herbaceous and leaves a faint, yet tantalizing peppery note in the mouth.

Ingredients

Water, barley malt, wheat malt, wheat, mix of spices and citrus zest in variable proportions, hops, sugar, yeast.

This is an amber ale with a persistent, light hazelnut colored head. Fruity and warm scents immediately invade the nose, harmoniously blending with the delicate herbaceous and citrusy notes of the hops.

We find them again in the taste, along with the hints of cereals that are perceived with the very first sip. As the first sensations fade, a pleasant and very subtle peppery note emerges.

With its classic brown color, reminiscent of a monk’s tunic, Leön has a nice thick and persistent, hazelnut-colored head. At first smell, the fruity scent of fruit cooked in a wood oven fills the nose. Then, coffee aromas blend with woody nuances, which turn into fuller notes of chocolate as the beer becomes warmer.

The heat of its 8,5% alcohol content immediately hits the palate, with a touch of sour cherries in brandy. This is quickly replaced by the taste of roasted cereals, which gently fill the mouth with notes of chocolate, cocoa beans and coffee. A rather sweet beer with a strong body, complex but very enjoyable.

Ingredients

Water, barley malt, oat malt, wheat malt, hops, sugar, yeast.

A bright amber beer with a thick and full-bodied head. Its scent contains notes of cereals and sweet biscuits, accompanied by light nuances of citrus fruits in the background which, as the beer becomes warmer, turn into nuts and white chocolate.

A continuous evolution to the very last sip. Its taste has a striking sweetness accompanied, again, by notes of nuts and biscuits, as well as ripe fruit, vanilla and citrus fruits, which round up its complexity.

Ingredients

Water, barley malt, hops, sugar, yeast.

Ruby-colored with amber hues and a fine and rosy head with a delicate persistence, this beer has scents of black cherries and cherries which almost become winy. These notes are confirmed when you taste it, when the fruity component becomes overwhelming.

The hints of black cherries are accompanied by those of bitter almonds. The light body and the gentle acidity create the perfect conditions to continuously feel like taking another sip.

Ingredients

Water, barley malt, wheat malt, wheat, spelt, rye, buckwheat, hops, cherry pulp (19.5% on the product), mix of spices, peel of citrus fruit and aromatic herbs in variable proportions, sugar, yeast.
