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.

A refreshing lager with floral and citrus notes from the late hopping of Taiheke and Mosaic. Moutere hops deliver a smooth bitterness to complement a mix of pilsner and wheat malts.

The whole hop flowers in the Pale Ale give it a serious citrus and stone fruit flavour, balanced with specialty malts and a hit of bitterness.

Do your eyes deceive you or is that a ghostly galleon laden with a bounty of juicy hops hidden in the mist? Set sail into the hazy unknown for a supernaturally fruity burst of tropical and citrus flavours followed by an eerily smooth finish. Hazy IPAs are characterised by juicy flavours, a big viscous mouthfeel and very smooth bitterness along with turbidity or cloudiness, giving the resulting beverage the appearance and flavour of a refreshing glass of alcoholic fruit juice.

Brewed to produce flavours of citrus, pine & tropical fruit. This India Pale Ale is then dry hopped for an explosion of hop aroma & flavour. Powerful and precise, Green Beret packs an arsenal of citrus and pine flavours with a skilfully controlled explosion of hoppy goodness. Mac's Green Beret IPA is named after the assertive punch of the US hops, but like any good soldier it also knows the virtues of discipline and restraint. The result is a well-balanced IPA that has a complex and rewarding flavour profile.

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.

Photographers love the hour around sunset, and it's a pretty good time of day for a Hazy Pale Ale too. Do yourself a favour and crack into a can of Magic Hour and enjoy the light biscuity base complimented with aromatic hops to make for a distinctively smooth Hazy Pale Ale experience.

Mac's Slim Hazy is a Hazy IPA brewed to be low in carbs but still full in flavour. Slim Hazy uses Citra and Simcoe hops in the brewhouse and again for dry-hopping, this gives the beer both the right level of bitterness as well as up-front flavour and aroma. Mac's Slim Hazy has notes of passionfruit, pine and stone fruit. Overall, an easy drinking, very session-able IPA.

Mac's Three Wolves is an elaborate Pale Ale, bursting with citrus and tropical notes & a well-balanced bitterness. Inspired by the Latin name for Hops, Humulus Lupulus, which translates into 'Wolf of the Woods', Mac's Three Wolves Pale Ale features US hops Simcoe and Amarillo, as well as local hero Nelson Sauvin. Three hops, three wolves, one very tasty Pale Ale. The trans-Pacific trifecta of hops will really give your tastebuds something to howl about.

Mac's TOO EASY is a JUICY Hazy Pale Ale brewed to be BIG and JUICY in flavour but to be exceptionally smooth and EASY drinking.

Simcoe Amarillo Nectaron 802 #66 is here and with it another trio of perennial hop faves - US Simcoe, with layers of pine and citrus; Amarillo, all floral, orange spice; and Nectaron with its oily pineapple notes. Trust them when McLeod's say, sixty-six isn't to be missed. Seriously, team. Treat yourself. It's a multi-can extravaganza!

Idaho 7, Comet and Mosaic. Good things come in threes, so they say. When it comes to 802 #67, McLeod's KNOW it's true! And it's all US hops for the win here! Comet, an undervalued delight, brings lemongrass, tangerine & soft herbal notes to the game. While Idaho 7 dips in with tangerine, orange & bright citrus, Mosaic makes a splash with big, tropical-laced mango. It's a delectably unique IPA but balanced as the day is long. Keep cool, drink fresh & be rewarded!
