With 100% Motueka hops and 100% Lager malt. Low fermentation, conditioned for several weeks. You may hear people refer to this beer as "the classic", or "the most normal". But none of these labels do Medes Pils justice.
Medes Pils is an outstanding beer, well balanced, very easy to drink and with the appeal expected of any decent Pilsner. The hops are present but not overpowering and the malt character is delicate and refined. Crisp and refreshing with a dry finish.
Unlike many industrial lagers, this beer contains no corn or corn syrup, no rice, no malt extract, no artificial preservatives or flavor enhancers.
Note: 100% Motueka up until December 2024 when the Motueka & Nelson Sauvin combo was first released, and then 100% Nelson Sauvin in March 2025. Hop selections rotate subsequently.

44cl can, BB 01/01/2023, lot# L0081.
Couleur pâle, col fin blanc crémeux.
Arôme au nez fin fruité, noble avec un léger parfum de malt pils en rétro-nasal.
Palais est frais-crisp avec un caractère lager plaisant. Houblonné fin, finement herbacé, pointe de citron vert et ce côté noble NZ du Motueka. Petite note sèche de fin de bouche sur la feuille de basilic, agrumes reviennent en retrait - pomelo et finement fleuri.
