After sampling the Hallertau Statesman Pale Ale I could not resist but try the Hallertau Beastwars IPA. I later found out at Galbraiths pub in Auckland that the beer was a collaborative effort between Hallertau and Galbraiths. The Beastwars, 6% abv, was a strong, smooth and creamy IPA with strong floral hops. The initial taste was very nice and it went down very nicely. My criticism of this beer was the lingering strong hoppy flavour that lasted for quite a while after drinking and was not too pleasant. Saying that I would be more than happy to drink the beer again. Rating: 6.5/10
