Merakai Brewing Co –NewZealand…Rocks! (5.2% ABV)

Hello My fellow beer drinkers,

Welcome back to The Eternal Hoptimists! As you may know earlier this week we had a sit down chat with the lovely Emma & Olly from Merakai Brewing co and if you want to check out what they had to say in our meet the brewers interview here


 

  1. Name : NewZealand…Rocks!
  2. Brewery: Merakai Brewing Co, East Sussex
  3. Hops : Motueka, Riwaka, Nelson Sauvin, & Wakatu
  4. Grain :  Barley, Oats & Wheat
  5. Aroma :  Zesty lemon and Grapefruit tones with a mellow hoppy background.
  6. Appearance : Straw Yellow in colour with a slightly haze, and a medium tight white head.
  7. Body :  Medium bodied, well carbonated, with a decent head retention
  8. Taste :  Strong layered tropical fruit hit, followed by a very moreish dry white wine like zing.

Wow this one was a mouthful that just kept delivering, waves of tropical fruit making it a very juicy tipple, and then that cutting white wine-y zing at the end had you coming back for more every time! I’m glad I have got more than one of these!

Our overall rating: 4.1/ 5.0
