A punchy, fruity Big NZ Pale Ale, inspired by Aoraki — the sacred Māori name meaning “Cloud Piercer” — whose mighty peak rises eternally above the mists of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand’s tallest mountain. Brewed with 100% Riwaka hops, it unleashes bold citrus, waves of rockmelon, grape and passionfruit, laced with subtle earthy and floral notes, balanced on a medium malt base. Pouring a radiant golden hue that mirrors the turquoise glow of glacial Lake Pukaki, this lively brew reflects the New Zealand falcon’s swift soar and the rare crested grebe’s graceful glide across alpine waters. Cloud Piercer is an ode to the towering heart of Aotearoa, land of the long white cloud.
