'Maku' means taste - the IPA has it
What about the beer?
Colour is copper orange with two-finger thick natural white head. Aroma has fresh orange and lemon. Taste gives a fresh and smooth hoppy first bite. After the start strong fruity lemon gets in front with gently bitter background. Towards the end a slice of grapefruit joins the party. Aftertaste is piny dry with some bitterness.

Excellent and enjoyable quality IPA: fresh citrus fruits have the lead and smoothly strong hops follow with discipline. For some reason I have managed to dodge the Maku brews for some time. Now I can admit my mistake and stupidity - won't be doing that anymore.

Drinking this kind of fine fruity and fresh India Pale Ale makes me want to listen to a fresh jazzy pop song and give an applause to the brewers. How about you?

From the 2010 album We Are Born, the song was written by Sia Furler and Samuel Dixon.
