Pale golden colour with a foamy white head. Light biscuity malt notes carry the hops. A mix of American Citra and NZ Cascade hops give the beer a bright and vibrant citrus burst. Crisp and drinkable. Lower in alcohol than most IPAs.

Brewer's Notes

We really care about our beer and making the best quality beer possible. Auro Gluten-Free Ale is no exception and is made under HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points). It has 4 stages where we check for the absence of gluten in the beer - in the kettle, in the fermenter, post filtration, and in package. We use an industry accepted method for testing for the presence of gluten (gliadin and hordein proteins) which has an incredibly low threshold of detection of 1PPM (which is well below the accepted minimum detection level of 3PPM). Food Standards Austalia New Zealand specifies that a product may only be called Gluten-Free if there is no gluten detected and considers a result of less than 3PPM as suitable for calling "Gluten-Free". We test ourselves at a far more stringent level of testing than is applied in the US, EU, UK, Australia or New Zealand. We are confident that we are achieving this result and would not release the beer if it tested otherwise. We produce other products which do contain gluten and have a very rigorous cleaning schedule which we follow prior to making our gluten-free beer. Breweries are typically kept to a very high standard of cleanliness, but there are problem points which we have identified on our brewhouse where proteins can build up as staining or deposits. To address this we perform a second level of cleaning beyond our usual caustic-based standard cleaning procedures with an intensive renovation cleaning procedure prior to making Auro. To do this we strip off key fittings from the brewhouse and manually clean the problem areas and visually inspect all surfaces to make sure they are not stained with deposits, and then use a hot-acid detergent wash of all the food contact surfaces in our kettle, heat exchanger, and transfer hose.

Bare Beer / Non-alcoholic Pale Ale

NEW in cans!

Beer with everything except alcohol. Big tropical aroma and a smooth bitterness defy logic in this non-alcoholic Pale Ale.

A West Coaster is usually a no-fuss character, and this IPA has the same laid-back attitude. It’s a modern take on an IPA featuring iconic NZ hops — Rakau, Motueka,
and Nelson Sauvin. A solid bitterness up front eases into a fruit-forward finish with layers of mango, guava, and cool white grape—the kind of laid-back fruitiness you’d expect from a West Coast commune somewhere up the Fox River.

7.0% ABV

Nothing sends an industrious little beaver into a full-blown meltdown quite like a dam bursting— and this dessert stout is liquid chaos in a glass.
With waves of maple and salted caramel, a smooth bourbon warmth, and a cheeky pinch of sea salt to stop the full sugar coma.

8.9% ABV

Brewing in the old Dunlop Tyre Factory in Upper Hutt, Panhead produce a range of highly drinkable, hop forward, aromatic beers. Port Road Pilsner takes the New Zealand Pilsner style pioneered by Emerson's and Panhead Brewer Mike Nelsons former employer Tuatara and drives it into ever more zesty NZ hop laced territory. Try it with shellfish.

It’s unwise to make sweeping generalisations about Phantom Lords. They’re not all sinister and evil. In fact, this one is quite the fun, fruity character. Brewed with a heady combo of Kohatu (NZ), and Mosaic (US) hops, Phantom Lord Hazy IPA is full of complex tropical flavours. Pineapple, lime, and stone fruit, meet mango, citrus and berries. Just watch out, at 6.66%, it does still have a bit of devil in it.

This Phantom Lord’s soul draws its spirit not from the Underworld, but California, USA. As a West Coast IPA, it’s absolutely brimming with Centennial, Simcoe, and Citra hops. We were going to stop adding them, but the devil on our shoulder told us to keep going. And he was right. The result has the classic, bitter bite you want, with big grapefruit, resinous pine, and passionfruit undertones. It’s our loudest Phantom Lord yet –– well, it is American.
