Dark amber colour. Crowned with an abundant and strong lacing head. The aroma of the Westvleteren 8 is an attractive combination of green nuts, soft fruit and a touch of caramel. The different flavours of this beer lead to a harmonious yet complex taste. One tastes the malts, as it were, up to barley husk. The aftertaste is characterised by a distinct and striking hop bitterness

Neon Haze Hazy IPA 6.5%

For decades, the Neon Cowboy has tipped his hat over Auckland, watching late-night antics, questionable dance moves, and epic yarns. He’s seen it all—love, heartbreak, and that one guy who tried to ride a shopping trolley home. Now, he’s got his own hazy IPA. Packed with El Dorado, Cascade, and Citra hops, it shines bright with tropical swagger and a citrusy wink. Saddle up, partner!

Neon Haze is a luminous burst of flavor, a hazy IPA inspired by one of Auckland’s most iconic neon relics—the vintage cowboy sign that once adorned the Keans Building on Queen Street. Now glowing in its second life at the Epic Taproom in Onehunga, this legendary sign embodies the electric vibrance of the city's past, much like this hazy IPA captures the bold and bright essence of modern hop-forward styles. Neon Haze pours a radiant, golden haze, swirling with a rich, pillowy body that carries the unmistakable aroma of ripe tropical fruit and candied citrus.

Crafted with El Dorado hops, this IPA delivers an intense rush of juicy pineapple, stone fruit, and sweet pear, balanced by a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. It’s a beer that bridges past and present—just as the neon cowboy once signaled adventure on Queen Street and now lights up Onehunga, Neon Haze brings a fresh, glowing energy to every pint. Whether you're reminiscing about Auckland's history or simply savoring a well-crafted hazy IPA, Neon Haze is a tribute to bold flavors, bright lights, and the timeless thrill of something new.

 Epsilon means a small positive quantity and is the little version of Mobius. Upon pouring, mocha-colored bubbles cascade to quickly turn into an off-white bright head sitting on a near black silky body releasing notes of roasted coffee, milk chocolate, light toffee, and just a hint of floral and earthy hops. Epsilon is beautifully balanced from water chemistry manipulation that yields a full mouthfeel that’s not cloyingly sweet but incredibly drinkable. This beer is extremely small and crushable for its amount of flavor.

Equilibrium's newest imperial stout takes inspiration from the delightful pistachio and pecan crusted layered whipped pie. They started with a creamy base stout and added pistachios, pecans, coconut, marshmallow, and Madagascar vanilla. Soft, creamy, and weighed on the palate, Pistachio Dream Dessert offers pillowy layers of thick fudge and bakers chocolate, an earthy sweet nuttiness paired with scoops of marshmallow fluff and vanilla frosting. The extremely balanced finish makes this beer disappear quick and will have you in a dream sequence in no time
