Heat 4, NZIPA 6.5% -  3^rd place winner in the annual Smiths NZIPA Challenge. 440ml can

"The horn sounds and Heat 4 is live. Our fourth collaboration with Pirate Life Brewing is an NZIPA that doesn't wait for a set. Assertive bitterness rolls in first, lifting ripe grapefruit, candied lime, and lively passionfruit off a clean, subtle malt base. True to form for a Canyon x Pirate Life collab, it's bold where it needs to be and effortless where it counts. Four heats in and we're still charging hard. "

Carpe Diem.
