New Zealand Pilsner
Jemaine became your pen pal in Grade 5 and you've remained in contact ever since. You were extras together on a very famous New Zealand film in your 20s and attended each other's weddings. Jemaine's beautiful handwriting has given way to texting, but the friendship's durability remains.
Our New Zealand Pilsner is a clear and refreshing brew that celebrates the vibrant flavours of modern hops from New Zealand. The hop aroma is bursting with fresh lemon and lime, followed by flavour that mirrors the zesty aromas. With a medium-light body, it is easy to drink and pairs wonderfully with spicy cuisine. This Pilsner really shows off what makes New Zealand hops special, giving everyone who tries it a tasty treat with its refreshing vibes.

Hops: Motueka, Riwaka

473mL can. Pours clear yellow with small white head. Aroma has sweet biscuity malts, white wine, grass. Flavour has biscuit malts and a fairly muted hop expression, grass is more stringent, still a bit of berry tanginess. Decent carbonation. Not bad, but needs a bit of work.

473mL can, pours a clear pale yellow with a medium white head. Aroma has a nice grassy, lightly tangy, gooseberry character, with crisp biscuity malt in back. Flavour is less expressive and pronounced on the NZ hop character — there's muffled toasted grain, some bitter grassiness, and crisp biscuity malt. Decent nose and crispness on the finish, but the hop expression falls a little flat.
