Behemoth Brewing Company Chur

Another brewery so new it doesn't even have a web site today. This one is Auckland based Behemoth Brewery. They are on the Twitter and the Facebook though...Maybe I am just behind the times. Behemoth's signature brew is a New Zealand Pale ale, called Chur! Doesn't get much more Kiwi than that. (Note to International readers. "Chur" is a Kiwiism that doesn't really translate. Can I recommend you find a New Zealander and get them to teach you the appropriate way to use it.)

Chur! sells itself as being full of NZ Hops. It certainly has a hoppy taste to it, but isn't as strong as some of its competitors. The citrus hops also dominate the bitter hops so it is quite a refreshing drink. It didn't blow me away with its taste, but it is certainly nice enough to drink a few.
