A dank and zippy Motueka Lager, brewed with Heidelberg malt from Germany and a sprinkling of wheat. Single-hopped with Motueka for a lime like sharpness and a waft of weedy dankness and gooseberry too.

Can. Pretty much a clear paleish gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, a good German nutty sweetness, a little creamy sweetness, well buried under the main event. Light cooling pine. Mild Motueka lime, almost a shandy lime - lemon here. Light finish. Baron have smalshed the malt base here, but this needs a proper lager hop. Motueka, a wonderful hop, not really suitable for a brew like this. Needs robust noble hops.
