Having released a brew with these legends in consecutive years, we were overjoyed to pin down these superstars for the next act in our trilogy of juicy joy, a small batch NEIPA, and an ode to our Kiwi heritage.

Named Choice meaning sweet or excellent in NZ slang we were able to hand select some truly primo hop varietals for another tantalisingly tropical brew, and the older brother to our equally excellent Hazy Pale with DEYA, Look At Us Now.

Utilising all their expertise and hazy witchcraft we layered a complex malt bill together including oats, wheat, and a few speciality additions. Then, we fermented the brew with their super secret strain of house yeast resulting in a suitably thick, oily, luscious mouthfeel to balance out a saturated, gloriously green hop assault.

As to those all-important ingredients, we opted for an antipodean triple threat. Here, Nelson Sauvin adds a deep gooseberry tang, while Vic Secret is more prickly passion fruit. Finally, a herbal favourite of ours, Galaxy contributes earthy, piney peach to round things off for punchy perfection.

Seriously, this is one juicy banger, so kia ora!
