Micro IPA
Ride the wave of flavour, a playful journey of citrus & hops, as you savour the endless summer. High on flavour, low on alcohol.
Bright citrus and bitter hoppiness, on an ice-cold backbone. Clean, crisp and dangerously drinkable.
Bold, bright, and unmistakably Kiwi. This modern West Coast IPA bursts with notes of gooseberries, grapefruit, and citrus zest, layered over a resinous pine backbone. Nelson Sauvin, Rakau, and NZ Chinook deliver a crisp bitterness and lingering dry finish, making each sip clean, punchy, and refreshingly moreish.
A collaboration with North Canterbury hop growers Bold River Hops. Bright and clean with delightful fruit character and a crisp bitterness.
Expect an aggressively hopped, malt stabilised, bitterly finished beauty, fanging bright tropical tones with zesty, floral echoes.
A classic. An old skool and righteously traditional American IPA. Solid malt ascent with a clean and dry ridgeline. The peak of Mt. Alpha features a full flavour punch to your heart. A local cult classic brewed at the base of Mt. Alpha.
No haze. No fluff. Just pure, high-altitude hop energy. Brewed in collaboration with AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, Thrill Seeker is a 6.7% NZIPA loaded with Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron, and Riwaka hops — the ultimate trio of New Zealand flavour. Expect a clean, electric hit of tropical fruit, citrus, and crushed gooseberry with a dry, snappy finish.
Prepare for a wild ride with Near Miss, the Red IIPA that’s as bold as the collaboration between the mad scientists at Double Vision Brewing and the seasoned pros at Emerson's! This brew is all about New Zealand brewing, and it turns out that this recipe has landed somewhere between Oreti Red (the predecessor of Daredevil) and Red Rascal (the first beer of ours Richard Emerson loved) in terms of malt bill, process, and hop schedules... but has the throttle turned up to 8.2% to maximise the flavour!Near Miss gets its name from one of the first times we were out in Dunedin with Richard and Greg. We got Flamingo Scooters to take to town from the brewery, and Richard had never used one. The only problem we realised at full speed was that he didn’t know how to stop! He was screaming, “How do you STOP?!” while we yelled back instructions. Only when we remembered he couldn’t hear us did we look back and gesture how to hit the brakes. He slammed the brakes, put his foot down, and came to a halt right before a busy intersection. It was truly a Near Miss!
Packed with Chinook, Centennial and Citra, Ridge Line delivers bold bitterness in true West Coast style.
