New Zealand Pilsner

And we are in round 4 of our Split Rock Pilsner series. This time, we are going full Nelson Sauvin from New Zealand's Pikimai hop farm. We dry-hopped this NZ boy to push those wine-like notes while keeping it properly bitter and dry.

Tap at Goblet. Lightly hazy golden body, off-white head. Grape jelly, orange, sweetish, in the aroma. Medium body on lean, bit yeasty, heaps of onion, mildly funky, herbal, low fruitiness, low bitterness. The worst of the lot... 7/7.5/5.5/6/6.5

Update a month later: Wild herbal notes over the fruitiness in the aroma these. Lean, dry, smooth taste, bit floral and touches of wild herbs, kinda settled a little.
