A Pale Lager hopped exclusively with New Zealand-grown hops, Wanaka bursts with notes of lime zest, ripe melon, and lychee. Combining the crisp drinkability of a Lager with the flavorful hoppiness of an IPA, let this hybrid style take you on a delightful journey to Kiwi Land.

Canned 5/25/23, drunk 6/29/23. Clear bronze. White head immediately to ring. Grass, spice, citrus, with strong floral notes and almost a dry pinot grigio like quality. Cracker and bready malts stay out of the way and its clean with low mineral. Hmmm, it's soft, rich, chewy, sweet, pretty sluggish, honestly. Pepper, floral notes, bitterness is strong with punchy hop notes of resin, unripe fruit skins. Earth, mineral, heavy pepper. Yeah...just not what I was looking for here. I want snappy yeast and crisp, deep malts with fruity, spicy, mineral-rich hops. This is somewhat the opposite of all of those. Did not finish.
