Paradox (500ml Bottle)

Description

As soon as you flip the top off the bottle you know youre in for something special. While the bright golden hue hints at a great quaffing beer, the explosion of passion-fruit and citrus aromas - the signature of the Riwaka hop variety - leave no doubt youre in for more than mere refreshment. On the palate the initial biscuity malt sweetness is soon joined by those zingy hop notes. This beer is flavour-packed, yet crisp and thirst-quenching - thats the paradox! When your thirst is finally slaked, try another glass with the best seafood dish on the menu. Yum!

Golden Ale/Blond Ale

There are a few different types of blond ale. The first is the traditional "Canadian Ale", an adjunct-laden, macrobrewed, top-fermented equivalent of the American Standard. The second is common in US brewpubs - a light starter ale, with marginally more hop and body than a macrobrew, fewer adjuncts, but still not a flavourful beer by any means. The British interpretation is easily the boldest, hoppiest blond ale rendition. Some of these can almost be considered American Pales they are so hopped up - very crisp, refreshing, with relatively low alcohol compared with their North American counterparts.
