Brewed with Nelson Sauvin harvested direct from Cam and Laura Elam’s Holmdale farm at Wakefield. We have been good mates since they set up their hop farm in 2017. Their family has farmed Holmdale since 1856, the second oldest farm to be continuously run by the same family in the Tasman area. From cutting of the bine to hitting the brew, it is less than two hours so fresh hop intensity is fantastic.

A flavorful yet balanced and highly drinkable take on the classic English session beer style. This interpretation is much hoppier than the what is outlined in the 2021 BJCP style guidelines - this is due to the generous addition of 2026 Freestyle Hops WAKATU variety used in the whirlpool/steep.
