Brewery & Style Brewed once a year to celebrate the New Zealand hop harvest, this New English Bitter is a seasonal release from Hallertau, known for their balanced, flavour-forward beers. This edition uses freshly harvested local hops to deliver vibrant aromatics and a smooth, bitter-sweet finish.
Flavour Profile Toasty malt and caramel notes form the backbone, layered with fresh hop character—think herbal, grassy, and slightly citrus. Medium-bodied with a rounded mouthfeel and satisfying bitter edge, it’s a modern take on a traditional English style.
Pairing Suggestions Enjoy with bangers and mash, mature cheddar, roast chicken, or anything pub-inspired. A proper pint for flavour lovers.
Interesting Fact This beer features fresh (not dried) hops, added to the brew within hours of picking—capturing volatile aromatics and bright green character that you won’t find in regular brews.
Available at L’alcool, a New Zealand-owned wine store, now stocking seasonal craft beers from some of the country’s most exciting brewers.
