Sometimes you just need to drop anchor, cast a line, and take in the sea breeze. This luscious and refreshing hazy pale ale invites you to cool off among juicy waves of stone fruit, tropical notes, citrus, and pine in this maritime marriage of NZ and US hops. Leave the shoreline behind, and spend some time on the sea.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again...brewing up their beer for the invitation only, NZIPA challenge at Smith's Craft-house in Queenstown. Loaded with Motueka, Peacharine, Riwaka and NZ101, it's as kiwi as a mighty ol' S-Bedford which toiled for an era to build our nation and quench thirsts, when NZ pioneered delivering beer to pubs in massive ~5,000 litre beer tankers.

Over at Bach they've been on the hops again ... big intense West Coast USA hops! The classic Californian West Coast IPA style originates from the late 70's and emerged in NZ circa just twenty years ago. All about the perfect balance between alcohol, malted barley, and high intensity of hops, to deliver max flavour and drinkability, they brewed their more modern take with a truckload of fruit driven hops including Idaho 7, Mosaic, Citra, and Simcoe.

Over at Bach they've been on the Freestyle hop farms... dank and sticky fresh green cones of Nectaron were field harvested at their peak and hightailed to the brewery. Chris and Craig B weaved their brewing magic, dry hopped with new harvest pellets, Riwaka, Motueka, Nelson Sauvin, and Nectaron again, for a dank, dripping and fiercely fresh Hazy IPA. Expect waves of ripe stonefruit, sticky passionfruit and a resinous hum.

Grapefruit Sculpin adds a fresh squeeze of tangy bitterness to Ballast Point's signature IPA. Some may say there are few ways to improve Sculpin's unique flavour, but the tart freshness of grapefruit perfectly complements this IPA's citrusy hop character.

Why use a stick of dynamite when a party popper will do the trick? Eazy Hazy brings the colour and spark while keeping things nicely chilled. Succulent US hops deliver lime, passionfruit, and hints of coconut around a creamy, rolled-wheat base to balance the zesty bitter finish.

The Balter XPA will hit your taste buds with tropical and floral aromatics along with a fruity palette. This brew is for those who enjoy an easy to drink, fully-hopped beer.

Oh boy, what do we have here! Hauled into the Brewery as fast as Behemoth could muster on a blue pallet. A Fresh Hop West Coast IPA bursting with the glorious powers of Claytons trial hop CIP 076, a hop so juicy it practically fell out of the orchard and into the kettle. Expect a wave of ripe orange, peach, nectarine and mango, backed up by a cheeky little earthy bite that reminds you these hops were happily living on the vine not long ago. It's fresh, punchy, and brighter than whoever came up with these puns... Harvest is in full swing, so grab and enjoy - fresh is best!

If at first you don't succeed, just name it version 1.0. Hop Geek IPA is an ode to geeking out on hops. This beer uses some of Behemoth's quintessential favourite hops, like Cryo Mosaic, Cryo Citra & El Dorado. Injecting some massive tropical and citrus flavours straight to your insular cortex. You're sure to love this IPA as much as they do. It has Churly's seal of approval.

Behemoth have unleashed Hophemoth, this triple-threat Triple Hazy IPA comes in swinging with a mammoth 10% ABV, triple dry hopped until the tanks were basically begging for mercy. So big, it casts a shadow over the rest of the fridge. So much haze you'll need a map. So much hops you'll forget the map. With mammoth levels of NZ & American hops this beast has mighty levels of tropical fruit, stone fruit, and citrus flavours, this leaves nothing but satisfied drinkers in its wake. Big beer, big mammoth - bring snacks. Warning: May cause excessive high-fives and poor karaoke decisions.

In Ya Face Double IPA is not here to fornicate with arachnids. Loaded with an absolutely ridiculous amount of bold, brash, unapologetically in-your-face hops from the good ol' US of A, this beer doesn't do subtle. It does LOUD. It does INTENSE. It does "Oh wow, I just got slapped in the face with hops, and I think I liked it." Let's be real, this is not the kind of beer you sip daintily at a poetry reading. It's the beer you reach for when you want your flavour turned up to eleven and your senses thoroughly awakened.
