| New Zealand brewing traditions originate in the 1800's and were no stranger to the charms of India Pale ales. As with the evolution of pilsner into many regional variations, India Pale ales evolved as well and are found across the globe. |
| These ales were originally dark amber in colour and today one can find variations which are virtually as pale as any modern beer or alternatively quite dark. |
| These original highly hopped export ales were not likely to be as bitter as often supposed - especially after months of aging and oxidation prior to ever being consumed. |
| Within New Zealand, one can find ales that are reasonable modern reincarnations of the general concept of the original India Pale ale style and one can also find interpretations. |
| This particular beer is a fine interpretation tending to be lighter but eminently drinkable and displaying fine hop characteristics. |
