A New Zealand twist to the traditional hop-forward profile of a Hopfenweisse. Heavily dosed with local Pacifica, Rakau, and Motueka hops, it has big NZ hop character delivering notes of apricot, peach, and lime zest. The Hefeweizen yeast gives it a rich traditional German profile with lovely pear drop and banana esters. This bouquet of fruit flavours shines against a fluffy backdrop of wheat malt. The malt provides a subtle sweetness that balances the beer's smooth and crisp bitterness.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Small Gods is a brewing project based in Auckland, New Zealand dedicated to collaborative, historical and experimental brewing. Named in honour of the yeasts who make our beer possible and the inimitable Terry Pratchett.
The Small Gods team (Luke & Matt) aim to keep history alive by bringing ancient beer styles and fascinating legends to light with a modern twist. Our unique approach to brewing highlights the rare, weird and wonderful styles that are often left by the wayside and embraces new and experimental techniques and ingredients.
Our beers are also inspired by interesting stories from history and mythology with the names and themes of our beers showcasing these stories. These themes are translated into stunning art in partnership with the fantastic artists and designers who make our packaging possible.
Small Gods brew all around New Zealand with our friends at fantastic breweries who oblige us by collaborating on brewing the experimental and not-commercially-viable styles they're interested in.
