With predominantly local hops and slightly above-average alcohol content, our Red IPA has the same confidence and individuality that characterise our own former colony. Tantalising passionfruit aromas give way to a delightful and unexpected combination of berries, tart ruby grapefruit and a comforting toasty malt on the palate, rounded off with a satisfying, sustained finish.

An ongoing series of occasional one-off releases inspired by the nice ideas captured in our Lyall Bay Brewery.

Taking its name from our fave local jumping off point into the briny blue, Jump Rock Unfiltered IPA starts with one of our signature unfiltered IPA bases before we load it with heaps of Nelson Sauvin and Simcoe hops. All gooseberry, citrus and fresh pine needle up front, those flavours are mirrored on the palate alongside a hint of toffee and soft malts.

Rich malt flavour and a ruby complexion are smacked full of hops to create a stunning IPA.

Chewbacca | Cherry & Blackberry Sour Red Ale 4.77% Creamy white head with notes of dark fruits and hints of caramel, leading to the star of the show: cherry and blackberry on the palate.

BARREL AGED DOUBLE DANGER RED ALE

Red Ale 7.9% 330ml

We have taken our favourite lady and made her, well more luscious!  

Allow yourself to be seduced by the luxurious malt body, rich complexity and bright hoppiness hidden in this alluring red ale. We have taken a barrel of Lady Danger that we had been ageing for over 12 months and added this to our blend which has resulted in a potent perfume of ripe fruit wrestling in pine needles enchanting the senses.  An abundance of US hops and balanced malt fullness round out the punchy flavours. This beer is perilously good and dangerously palatable, drinker beware.
