Relax among the tropical forest scenery and enjoy freshly brewed beers along with some of the choicest picks from the food menu.
Bringing some exotic flavours, the variety includes their signature Belgian Witbier, which is light and comes with a fruity orange and a hint of coriander with low bitterness, refreshing with a sweet and spice finish. Try the American Style West Coast IPA, a refreshing orange coloured ale with a prominent and intense hops aroma the citrusy, pine-y and fruity character derived from American hops.
