Description
Renaissance brewing was established in 2005 when experienced brewers Andy Deuchars and Brian Thiel purchased the lease on the historic Grove Mill in Blenheim. Andy and Brian, both natives of Southern California, had one goal in mind - to produce stunning beers in a region more renowned for the excellence of its wines. We are committed to using local ingredients and are one of the pioneers of craft brewing in New Zealand.

Black color, tan head with short duration. Aroma is roasty and mainly dominated by black chocolate notes. Flavor with a light bitterness at the beginning, roasted malts and a high presence of chcolate. Slightly sweet in the final maintaining roasty mouthfeel.

0,33l bottle at home bought from Beer Republic. No obvious BB date. orange clear color, small white head. smells lightly pines, citric, bubbly, lemon grass, lightly grassy, tobacco, earthy. overall nice smell. medium to full body, light carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of resin, spices, bit peppery, herbal, lemon grass, some old hops, gets rather malt heavy / bit cheewy towards the finish. finishes lightly bitter with notes of light lemon grass, some stale hops and bit citric. Okish but the hops are rather muted especially on the finish. Still drinkable but not that exciting.
