Brewed with a blend of American and European pilsner malts, then kettle-hopped with Hallertau Blanc and Hallertau Mittelfrüh. A light dry hop with The Bruce—a New Zealand field blend of Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, and Rakau from Freestyle Hop Farm—adds delicate citrus and tropical fruit notes, alongside a floral sweetness reminiscent of dandelion jelly. 4.2% ABV.

The name Tasman Sun comes from a break during hop harvest, years ago, when we ventured from Nelson, NZ to hike a stretch of the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. The unexpected beauty of that day—golden beaches, clear turquoise water, and a trail weaving through native forest—made it one to remember.

Years ago, we brewed and canned this beer under a simple label. Now, it returns with its own proper artwork by Burlington native Matthew DeForest Jenkins @mdjstudio_ , an artist and illustrator whose work balances whimsy and storytelling.
