Canadian Beer
Canadian malt provides the frame for Riwaka and Rakau hops from New Zealand. Citrus and grapefruit arrive first, followed by an antipodean turn toward mango and passion fruit.

Serve cold with burgers, grilled chicken, fish tacos, aged cheddar or spicy noodles.

Serve cold with fish and chips, grilled chicken, sharp cheddar, tacos or citrus-dressed salads.
