NZPA

This is a 6% New Zealand style Pale Ale from the Hawkshead Brewery of Staveley, Cumbria.

It is brewed with all New Zealand hops, including: Green bullet, Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin.

Its appearance is golden, very similar to a lager with a short lasting white head.

The aroma is of fresh hops and tropical fruits. There is an instant bitter hop hit that shakes the tongue on first tasting.  This mellows into tropical fruit flavours and bitter lemon.  There is a banana sweetness and creaminess in there also.  The finish is long lasting and satisfyingly bitter.
