Please welcome Clayton–our newest Pilsner! Featuring a distinctive New Zealand hop schedule, Clayton is full of Riwaka and Motueka hops from Clayton Hops (NZ). These provide striking notes of grapefruit, peach fuzz, lime, and kiwi. A fuller mouthfeel sets Clayton apart from many other dry hopped lagers, owing to the pilsner malt, pale 2-row, and malted wheat in its grist bill.

Pours bright gold into a willi. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spiders to soap surface. Lemon, hay and pith aromas. Crisp with sweet melon and lemon/lime upfront turning to hot pith and peel in the dry, lasting finish.

Can shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Clear, bright yellow, nice sparkle, thin head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, grapefruit, hint of herb, hint of Pilsner. Taste is strong Pilsner malt, grapefruit, stone fruit. Soft carbonation, finish as taste. Very interesting aroma for a Pilsner. Wish the aroma and taste were reversed and Pilsner aficionados might bemoan Pilsner getting covered up but I like it.

Can from Beer & Wine Nation with the date completely smudged. Drunk 7/25/25.
Clear, warm-toned brass-honey. Medium-sized, white head, moderate retention.
Oh yeah, that's the ticket. Full-on mineral and white wine in the nose with medium-ripe guava and light passion fruit. They really got a lot of mileage on these hops and got the premium expression. Dainty, honey-like malt balances gently but appropriately. Low acidity, but fairly crisp finish with lingering mineral, guava and white wine/grape.
Rich honey and light bread from the malt creates a sumptuous base for the gently bitter, very expressive, tropical fruit-laden, big mineral, white wine-like hops. Crisp and fruity with good dryness and proper bitterness on the finish for a balanced, very flavorful, clean beer.

16 oz. can. Aroma is soft lime peel, and mild grass like hops. Flavor has a perfect amount of Pilsner malt, giving mild notes of honey with some soft snappy hops in the finish. Light mineral character with a very mild bitterness to balance the malt. Crisp, clean and refreshing! Travel far and wide to find a better pilsner.
