Judges Comments:

One of the original non-alcoholic craft beers in Aotearoa, and — according to our judges — still one of the best. It’s so beer-like you might be confused as to whether it’s genuinely a non-alc. With less than 0.5% alcohol as a base for building layers of flavour, it’s hard for zeroes to stay interesting and in balance but this beer achieves that flawlessly. The judges lauded the brew team: “Impressive to squeeze this much hop character into a non-alc beer”. They noted “strong aromas of mango and lychee jump out of the glass, with a dank green capsicum edge”. Those hops present on the palate as “juicy citrus, with some herbaceousness and a restrained bitterness and clean, crisp finish.”
