Nordic Kiwi Brewers

The Long White IPA

Brewer’s notes: A fusion of a Belgium witbier and an American IPA. Our White IPA gives the traditional wheat beer a bit more punch through the moderate smooth bitterness. The citrus and pine tones come from the various additions of Waimea and Wakatu hops. We use 60% wheat malt and kept the ABV down more toward a session beer which gives it a light crisp body that is tart and fresh. The name comes from Aotearoa – “the land of the long white cloud”, Maori for New Zealand. Let is be a long lingering hoppy love!

Southern Pale Ale 3.5%

Brewer’s notes: We brewed this version of our Southern Pale Ale to be an easy drinking “folk” beer, which means it has a lighter body and 3.5% ABV. We think it’s a great beer for new converts to craft beer. We boost the bitterness and aroma with a combination of bold kiwi hops. Waimea provides the smooth bitterness and a hint of pine, while the Nelson Sauvin stands out on the nose with its distinctive cristpness and unique floral tones, all balanced with the subtle taste of citrus from the Motueka. We like to think our Southern Pale Ale washes over your like a cool breeze on a warm summers day. Afterall, it’s always summer somewhere!

Shady Jade Pale Ale

Brewer’s notes: We brewed the Shady Jade as a kiwi slant on a bold American-style Pale Ale. The higher moderate maltiness and higher ABV are what you come to expect from the this classic craft style. While the punchy up-front bitterness comes from the early kettle additions of the wonderful Pacific Jade hop, the Motueka and Wai-iti balance out this bitterness with citrus and tropical fruit tones. For the final punch we round it off with some very shady dry hopping.

Pacific IPA

Brewer’s notes: We brewed this “Red IPA” to have a deep colour and a hoppy head of citrus and tropical fruits. We should note that a Red IPA has a more moderate bitterness than your usual West Coast-style IPA – we consider it more like a shot in the arm than a fist in the face. Our Pacific IPA gets its characteristic bitterness from the Pacific Jade, while the late kettle additions of Motueka and Wai-iti taunt your senses with tangerine and citrus. The malt base is also much heavier with biscuit and toffee tones and at 6.4% the ABV is what we have come to expect from any good IPA. Inspired by the duality of the dark Northern winter and the lively Southern summer, we reckon this Red IPA is equally good any time of year.

Chili stout

Brewer’s notes: We wanted to brew this oatmeal stout for it’s smoothness and fullness, then added the chili to spice it up a bit. Single hopped with the versatile Motueka, gives this stout a balanced bitterness and “noble” aroma without overpowering the chocolate and malt tones. For the sting we roast chili over wood charcoal on the BBQ which brings out the sweetness and gives a subtle smoked character. The sneaky chili is not meant to club you over the head, but slowly creep up on you, then kick in the afterburners… *BOOM*

Champagne Supernova

IMPERIAL CHAMPAGNE PILSNER

Brewer’s notes: What’s so special about this pilsner you ask?  Firstly, it’s brewed with champagne yeast, imparting a mildly  sweet flavor with a distinct champagne character and a dry  finish. Secondly, true to the NKB course, we use only NZ hops,  striking a nice balance with Pacific Gem & Green Bullet.  Finally, it’s a collaboration with our good friends at  Brewing Költur, infusing a whole lot of brewmance into this  beer. We’ve found ourselves calling it a classy craft brewers  ”stor stark”. To good health!

Black n Blue

BLUEBERRY BALTIC PORTER

Brewer’s notes: Our Black n Blue is a sweet full-bodied Baltic Porter with a smooth palate and tones of roasted coffee and chocolate. For the twist, we spike it with Swedish blueberries at the dry hopping stage, then lager it for a few months to let the flavors infuse. The tart blueberries are subtle yet distinct on the nose and in the flavour and balance well with the sweetness of the Baltic Porter. The rounded bitterness comes from the Pacific Gem hop, which is known to have very little aroma, leaving room for the blueberries to shine. Cheers!
