Your job is the fermentation, the dry hopping, the conditioning and the patience. What comes out is a soft, juicy hazy that only exists because you finished it. It is not available in any bottle shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe beer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hazy golden ale with a creamy body and a soft, fruit-forward finish. Wheat and oats give it the cloud and the smooth mouthfeel; NZ Green Bullet handles the bittering so it never turns harsh. This one rewards dry hopping more than any other kit we stock, that is where the juice comes from. Pile the late hops in and make it yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e5.8%\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIBU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e38\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eHazy gold, SRM 9\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVolume\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e23L\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation temp\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003e18-22 degrees C\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eSafAle S-33 yeast (11.5g)\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrain notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eWheat and oats for haze and creamy body\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBittering hops\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e \u003ctd\u003eNZ Green Bullet\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen you know you have nailed it\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hazy gold, soft and cloudy, with a creamy off-white head.
