When you quickly put on a pair of shoes in New Zealand to go to the beach or to the bar for a quick beer, the shoes of choice in summer are the so-called jandals. This type of shoe is not a fancy, typically New Zealand creation, but simply a traditional flip-flop. The unusual name is a combination of the supposed country of origin and the word sandal: In Japan, toe slippers have been worn for centuries, which is why the shoe manufacturer Morris Yock from New Zealand created the term Jandals.
A beery homage to the practical sandals comes from Rye River Brewing: The team has come up with a summery IPA that skilfully captures New Zealand's charm with hops from there. The Nelson Sauvin and Motueka varieties conjure up a range of tropical and citrus-fresh fruit notes in the beer.
The summery pleasure flows into the glass in a delicately cloudy grain gold and is decorated with a small head of foam. A fruity nose invites you to drink. The flavor profile is made up of exotic fruits such as mango, passion fruit and grapefruit as well as ripe stone fruit, hints of citrus and notes of white grapes. A small handful of different types of grain underline the hoppy aromas with soft malt notes and a grippy texture. The beer is rounded off by an impressive 7.0% alcohol content.
