Abel Tasman National Park is located at the northernmost section of the southern island of New Zealand. During a trip to NZ in 2019, we were captivated by the park’s awe-inspiring beauty. While there, we spent crucial time selecting the best hops NZ has to offer. This 100% NZ hopped pilsner is the result of that time and inspiration. Hops: Freestyle Farms grown Nelson, Riwaka, NZ Cascade, Motueka.

Fun new Zealand hops all over a nice crisp pils. Wish the can was dated though 👀

Can, thanks to Ioana for picking it up! Pours clear golden yellow, small white head, good lacing. Aroma is pleasantly dank and tropical, definite Nelson influence. Flavor is light sweet, light plus bitter. Clean. Light plus body. Quite good.

Can from Ale Arsenal. Pours clear light gold with white head. Overt floral aroma with white cracker. Moderate fruitiness. Flavor is stone fruit, cracker, tropical fruit. Crisp finish. Fantastic Pilsner.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated June 24, 2019. Aroma is hop forward and rather fruity with lots of mango, passion fruit, gooseberry, guava and tropical citrus. Lighter dank hop notes and light malt notes. Pours a rather clear, brilliant gold with a medium large, thick, frothy, white head that's recedes fairly quickly. Medium light lacing and no legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with moderate grain notes. Medium to medium high bitterness with moderately strong hop notes. More dank notes than in the aroma with some pine and resin followed by tropical citrus, mango, passion fruit and gooseberry. Fairly dry crisp finish with some mineral and water notes. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, the hop profile is way out of whack for any pilsner but this is a really crisp, tasty lager. Super hop forward, especially in the aroma but crisp malt notes shine through.
