Tasting Notes: This gold medal winning New Zealand pilsner derives from the traditional Czech style, brewed with pilsner malt and cold-fermented with lager yeast. We use New Zealand hops and put most of them late in the brew to promote more hop flavour and aroma than a traditional pilsner. A crisp and clean beverage with a beautiful balance of bitterness and sweet malt.
Awards: Trophy winner of Best International Lager and Gold medal winner Australian International Beer Awards 2019, Silver NZ Brewers Guild Awards 2017 and 2018,
Food pairing: Pairs well with spicy food as the hop crispness cuts through the spices and the sweet malt balances against the heat of chilli. This malt forward beer also pairs well with grilled meat or fish. Try it with your next Chinese inspired meal as the crisp clean style of this beer balances well with salt and fat.

The base beer is clean and refreshing. The hops are very modernized and quite bitter. But not bad. Sk advent kalendar

330ml can. Pours a crystal clear yellow-gold with a medium, fluffy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy lacing. Mild aroma of cracker malt and grassy hops. Sweet flavour of grainy malt, passion fruit and lemon in a crisp, dry, bitter grass finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and easy to put back.
