A Taste of New Zealand: Our New 4.2% NZ Pale Ale

Introducing our new 4.2% New Zealand Pale Ale—a bright, refreshing and hop-forward beer packed with bold fruit character.

This light-bodied pale ale is brewed with three of New Zealand’s most sought-after hop varieties: Motueka, Nelson Sauvin and Nectaron. Each brings its own distinctive qualities, creating a vibrant combination of citrus, stone fruit and tropical flavours.

From the first pour, the beer delivers an inviting tropical aroma, followed by lively notes of lime and lemon. Concentrated stone-fruit flavours add depth, while an abundance of tropical fruit gives every sip a bold and juicy character.

NZ Pale Ales are becoming an increasingly popular choice for customers at the bar who want something full of flavour, fresh and exciting, while still being easy to session. Compared with some more hop-forward, bitter IPAs, they offer a softer, smoother drinking experience without sacrificing character, making them an appealing choice for both hop enthusiasts and those looking to explore modern pale ales.

Despite its generous hop profile, the beer remains balanced and effortlessly drinkable. Its light body allows the fruit flavours to shine before giving way to a clean, zesty and satisfyingly dry finish.

At 4.2%, it offers plenty of flavour without becoming overpowering—making it an ideal pint for anyone who enjoys modern, aromatic pale ales with a refreshing edge.

Bright, fruity and bursting with the distinctive character of New Zealand hops, this is a beer made for those who like their pale ales full of flavour. Look out for it on the bar and enjoy it while it lasts.

Available in cask only for 1 month - Pubs keen to feature Hopotiki Pale are encouraged to order early to secure their stock.
