Revelation
ABV: 5.7% / 65 IBURevelation is our legendary IPA for the hop lovers. Citrusy American hops added by the sack full and dry hopped with the ‘Hop Rocket’ to boost flavour. A stellar adventure.
Seville
ABV: 4.0% / 40 IBUTo celebrate brewery shop legend Les Masters 10th anniversary aboard the good ship Dark Star, we are bringing back one of his favourite brews – our orange pale ale, Seville. Mandarin Bavaria and Amarillo hops join forces with Spanish bitter oranges for a beer that delivers on its orange promise. A stellar return for our original fruit beer.
Skylab
ABV: 4.2% / 40 IBUNamed after the first US space station, Skylab is aptly brewed with a trio of American hops – Simcoe, Columbus and Mosaic®. Having been for a dry hopped ride in our beloved ‘Hop Rocket’, this crisp India Pale Ale is packed full of zesty, fruity flavours. A stellar session IPA.
Luminuzu
ABV: 4.2% / 35 IBUBrewed with Celeia and Ekuanot hops and a hearty dose of Lemon and Yuzu, this sessionable pale ale is on a mission to prove zest really is best. Expect a refreshingly zingy bitterness, and a soft mouthfeel courtesy of the wheat and oats. A stellar citrus sipper.
Solar Eclipse
ABV: 4.5% / 40 IBUA classic battle between dark and light, Solar Eclipse pours as black as the night sky with roasted coffee and rich chocolate notes. But don’t be fooled - brewed with an abundance of New-world hops, this IPA also teems with bright, zesty, tropical flavours. A stellar contradiction.
Sunquake
ABV: 4.8% / 40 IBUSunquake is an easy going IPA known to cause tropical tremors on the tastebuds. Inspired by the Golden State and bursting with juicy fruitiness, Azacca and Mosaic® hops bring peach, mango and tangerine flavours to the fore while Chinook hops deliver a touch of pine and bitterness for balance. A stellar taste explosion.
Green Hop
ABV: 6.5% / 65 IBUA beer for those who like their hops as an extreme sport, this full-flavoured IPA is infused with fresh ‘green’ hops within 24 hours of picking from the hop bine. A stellar celebration of the hop harvest.
Lager
ABV: 4.0%Made with German lager malt, this low bitterness, clean and crisp lager is brewed using German hops, Polaris for bittering and Hallertau Mittelfruh and Saaz hops for aroma.
Hophead Ekuanot®
ABV: 3.8% / 50 IBUFor a twist on our classic golden ale, we have dry hopped this batch of Hophead with lashings of American Ekuanot® hops. This brings Lemon, Lime and Stone fruit flavours to the fore, which balance beautifully with the elderflower hit from the Cascade hops.
Imperial Stout
ABV: 10.5%Hiding in the deep, dark, depths of our brewery we have uncovered the last batch of our 2018 edition Imperial Stout. A vigorous fermentation is followed by a long maturation giving a densely rich beer with a dark brown head, it has coffee and berry like aromas with a velvet mouth feel. Coming in at 10.5% ABV this beer commands the upmost respect and deserves to be savored slowly.
