Wherever you go in the world, it's always refreshing to see something you recognise. That green bottle, the red star, the smiling 'e'... like an instant welcome from an old friend. Cold, fresh, high quality Heineken. Enjoyed near and far since 1873.
Lion Red, the quintessential Kiwi beer, began life as the Pale Ale from the Great Northern Brewery in 1907 - a great year for beer and an even better one for beer drinkers. Over the last century, Lion Red has become a favourite for celebrating great times with good mates.
Do your eyes deceive you or is that a ghostly galleon laden with a bounty of juicy hops hidden in the mist? Set sail into the hazy unknown for a supernaturally fruity burst of tropical and citrus flavours followed by an eerily smooth finish. Hazy IPAs are characterised by juicy flavours, a big viscous mouthfeel and very smooth bitterness along with turbidity or cloudiness, giving the resulting beverage the appearance and flavour of a refreshing glass of alcoholic fruit juice.
Mac's Gold is the talisman of the Mac's family, an all malt lager brewed naturally with hints of citrus and sweet malts. Mac's Gold is the first, the original, the supreme naturally brewed all malt lager. Unbroken and therefore unfixed since 1983 thanks to its delicate caramel sweetness and crisp, clean aftertaste. Connoisseurs will note that the mid-palate bitterness and hints of citrus have not been tinkered with.
This isn't your average low-carb beer - Maverick is an elevated, high-flying experience. This 99% carb-free bright lager is dry hopped with Superdelic and Nectaron hops, giving it bold tropical notes and a crisp, refreshing finish. Everything you crave in a beer, minus the guilt.
Mac's Slim Hazy is a Hazy IPA brewed to be low in carbs but still full in flavour. Slim Hazy uses Citra and Simcoe hops in the brewhouse and again for dry-hopping, this gives the beer both the right level of bitterness as well as up-front flavour and aroma. Mac's Slim Hazy has notes of passionfruit, pine and stone fruit. Overall, an easy drinking, very session-able IPA.
Driftin' IPA showcases a vibrant hop blend of American Chinook and Citra, delivering grapefruit and lime notes with a spicy undercurrent, floating along with the tropical brilliance of New Zealand's classy Nectaron hop. The smooth malt bed perfectly balances with a lingering bitterness to launch an easy drinking IPA with a crisp clean finish.
The hike for the perfect Hazy ends here. Sink into this refreshing, cloudy Pale Ale, juiced up with a medley of fruity hops laid on a comfy bed of premium grains. As the sun touches the hills and the day's dust settles, take a sip, you've struck gold.
Take your foot off the pedal and coast into this tropically-charged unfiltered Hazy India Pale Ale brewed with Mosaic, Galaxy and Wai-iti hops. Wind blowin', waves crashin' and sandflies buzzin'... Cocktail hour on the West Coast has got a bit of bite.
Our feathered friends see the world differently. Through birds' eyes, things might look almost psychedelic to us, with heightened colours and fresh hues forming a surprising new spectrum. This hazy, citrus and stonefruit accented IPA with a mellow, soft and silky texture gives a similarly refreshing change of perspective.
