Strike! Reel in this crisp, clear Pale Ale, brewed with Galaxy and Mosaic hops hooked into the best New Zealand ale malts and rippling with fruit-forward, balanced bite. Time to wind down river and spool the slack, ready for tight lines tomorrow.

If you like your pilsner to show a bit of hop, you've come to the right place - Hop Rocker is the flashy lead guitarist in the Mac's beer supergroup. While a modicum of classic malt helps to put body into Hop Rocker, that's hardly why it's so called. Smell those citrus aromas. Savour those bitter notes. All the result of Nelson Sauvin and New Zealand Cascade hops, adding a touch of botanical exoticism to your leisure activities.

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.
