Mount Iron: A Refreshing Blonde Ale from Wanaka Beerworks Hailing from the picturesque town of Wanaka, New Zealand, Mount Iron is a captivating Blonde Ale that showcases the bold and flavorful character of New Zealand hops. With a clear, deep golden color and a persistent white head, this beer is a visual delight. The aroma is dominated by pungent citrus notes of grapefruit, orange, and lemon, complemented by hints of pine, grass, and floral hops, creating a complex and inviting profile. On the palate, the powerful and well-balanced flavors carry through, with the citrus and pine notes providing a refreshing bitterness that is beautifully complemented by a moderate malt backbone. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is crisp and clean, with a lively carbonation that adds to the overall experience. Mount Iron is a classic American-style IPA that will appeal to fans of the style, offering a harmonious blend of bold hop character and balanced bitterness. Named after a prominent landmark near Wanaka, this award-winning beer has garnered recognition, including the Champions Trophy at the New Zealand Beer Awards in 2014 and 2015. Brewed with a blend of American and New Zealand hops, including Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Cascade, Mount Iron is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Wanaka Beerworks team.
