Common descriptors are
Mike’s getting on famously with Mother Nature... and her best friend, a couple of her cousins and even her adopted sister. And it’s this gregarious gyrating of genes that has generated: TARANAKI PALE ALE Naturally big, but not artificially endowed, TPA possesses the golden glow of his mother, it mesmerises with tropical and citrus aromas, then seduces with its all-New Zealand hops. Along with Mike’s famous premium genes a mingling of English, German and Canterbury malts come together to create a rounded malt and toffee flavour with a hint of chestnut, further complemented by a long bitter, but not too dry, finish.
