The humble road cone, a symbol of caution, seems to trigger a special kind of madness. This beer channels that cone-fuelled delirium into something a little more productive. The layered IPA showcases Nelson Sauvin and Riwaka whole-cone hops, delivering bursts of passionfruit and lime upfront, backed by punchy Sauvignon notes and an oily decadence that comes from using whole cones.

The stuff of legends, the rogue hog roams somewhere beyond the black stump - feared, hunted, but never caught. Like its namesake, this West Coast IPA charges with upfront citrus and pine and then wallows in dankness. Too good not to dive in snout-first.

Don't trust this suited charlatan with the great Mo - this is pure snake oil. No ailments will be healed... but your taste buds? They're in for a proper treat. Bursting with coconut, lime and tropical trickery - smooth, juicy and dangerously convincing. No cures. No miracles. Just pure delicious deceit.

Don't be fooled this no adjunct stout has real depth with decadent roast malt flavours and a mild bitterness that carries throughout finishing with a note of cold-brewed coffee.

Sundowner is a little gem with its creamy body dominated by stone fruit and tropical flavours and comes in at 5.8%.

A West Coaster is usually a no-fuss character, and this IPA has the same laid-back attitude. It's a modern take on an IPA featuring iconic NZ hops - Rakau, Motueka, and Nelson Sauvin. A solid bitterness up front eases into a fruit-forward finish with layers of mango, guava, and cool white grape, the kind of laid-back fruitiness you'd expect from a West Coast commune somewhere up the Fox River.

Winner of the 2013 West Coast Challenge at the malthouse in Wellington - a palate-destroying smackdown you've got to experience to understand - Knife Party is a Swiss Army IPA featuring every US hop variety allowed through customs. If you heedlessly crave the hop, you've found the correct beer.

It sounds Japanese but it's as American as having a BMI of 32. The Yakima Valley in Washington state, situated in the top left corner of the lower 48, is home to some of our favourite hop varieties, the tiny green flavour bombs that powered the whole craft beer renaissance from the get go. Liberty is what it smells like.

A refreshing lager with floral and citrus notes from the late hopping of Taiheke and Mosaic. Moutere hops deliver a smooth bitterness to complement a mix of pilsner and wheat malts.

The whole hop flowers in the Pale Ale give it a serious citrus and stone fruit flavour, balanced with specialty malts and a hit of bitterness.
