This pilsner is a showcase of the incredible Riwaka hop. Lightly dry-hopped for a drinkable yet satisfyingly chewy profile, it bursts with New Zealand-forward character. A bold, flavorful take on a classic style that lets Riwaka shine.

16oz cans, light haze over a gold body, rocky white head. Peppy nose, minty, herbs, some toothpaste, light grist. Lightly floral. Flavor has some herbs and honey and dandelions but some definite mint. Finishes of dry and a little oily. Decent.

Can from source: pours gold with white head. Aroma is popcorn, loads of it, grass. Damn. Riwaka. I could do without it.

Draft: Poured a yellow cloudy with white head. Aroma is juicy hops, grain. Taste is nice blend of hops and grain. It’s hot and this hits the spot.

Grapefruit and a little pine. Golden pour with decent head. Snappy crisp finish. Nice pils. Tap at brewery.
