Doubtful Sound is a refreshing hop-forward lager, with a combination of hops from Germany and New Zealand. Fermented on a crispy, clean base we've added layers of Nelson Sauvin, Huell Melon and Mandarina Bavaria in the dry hop. Nelson Sauvin takes the forefront with its winey, gooseberry characteristics and is in turn backed up with melon, citrus and soft herbal notes from the German hops, and finishes with a crisp bitterness.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light cold and clear with a quickly dissipating loose white head. Slight soapy and spicy aroma, some grains, a touch of white grape. Bittersweet taste, full and refreshing without being memorable. Nice full body with a good zap of carbonation. Astringent and Chardonnay in the aftertaste. It isn’t bad, but I’m not really feeling it.
