Was wondering whether it'd be a reference to the movie or song, obviously with the NZ hops it's the movie. Nice one bro!

I got a bit lazy and couldn't be bothered listing them, but since you asked...
- D Saaz '08 pellets (5.4%) 20g
- Pacific Hallertau '08 flowers (5.6%) 35g
- Pacific Gem '07 flowers (13.7%) 25g
- Green Bullet '07 Flowers (13.6%) 55g
- Willamette '08 flowers (6.6%) 55g
- Super Alpha '07 flowers (11.0%) 60g
- B Saaz '08 pellets (7.1%) 40g
- Styrian Goldings '07 flowers (4.4%) 50g
- Southern Cross '08 pellets (13.2%) 20g
- Hallertau Aroma '08 flowers (6.6%) 40g
- Rakau Organic '08 pellets (11.5%) 20g
- Sticklebract '06 pellets (11.9%) 55g
- Nelson Sauvin 06 Pellets (10.8%) 25g

I put them all down as flowers, so technically the bitterness is higher that measured.

Well picked!
I brewed an Imperial Pilsner with the same hops last year called Jake The Muss, and this beer is essentially the return of Jake The Muss...

The hops were from various other beers brewed over the course of the last year. I stocked up big on NZ varieties to see what they were like, there just happened to be quite a number of them available through Craftbrewer!
The taste of the beer itself, well, brutal! h34r: Really hard to narrow down specific flavours in the young beer, but it's very much like a tropical fruit punch...that packs a punch!
