Aotearoa Pale Ale: A Kiwi-Inspired Delight When life gives you smoke, you find a way to make it work. That's exactly what the folks at Tuatara Brewing Company did when their APA supply went up in flames. They turned to some homegrown cones and created a new style – the Aotearoa Pale Ale. This brew is a true celebration of New Zealand's bounty. With citrus flavors and a full hop finish, it's a refreshing take on the classic pale ale. The result is a beer that's kapai, which means "all good" in the local lingo. Embrace the 100% Kiwi-ness of this beer and let your taste buds be transported to the lush landscapes of Aotearoa. Expect a burst of citrus, grapefruit, and herbal notes, all wrapped up in a fresh hop finish. The aroma is a delightful blend of tropical fruits and orange marmalade. Visually, the Aotearoa Pale Ale presents a golden amber to copper hue, inviting you to take a sip. The hop varieties used – Motueka, Pacific Jade, NZ Cascade, and Nelson Sauvin – work in harmony with the NZ lager, ale, and crystal malts to create a truly unique and satisfying experience.
