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.

Light haze on this gold beer, tidy cream colour head. Palate is light, fairly dry and has a fine minerally crispness. Light malts, mild sweetness and a trace of cream. Good hops - fresh orange, orange peel, marmalade, hop spice. Pine and a touch of tropical fruits. Light finish. Mild peel bitter linger. Nice beer, but style wise - the hops overwhelm the any lager character and I reckon you would struggle to identify it as such blindfold.

Bottle from Hop Burns & Black. It pours clear golden with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh, grassy, green hops, aniseed, lemon sherbet, lemon meringue, and bread. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, grassy, pine, lemon-lime, straw, pepper, grapefruit with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Works rather well. Tasty.

Flaske fra vinmonopolet Verksgata, Stavanger, hjemme 17.mai: ah, dette er akkurat det jeg trenger etter to timer i folketoget! Humlefrisk åpning med citrus, tropiske frukter og litt furunål. Smaken likeså, balansert, myk og med litt honningsødme i bitterheten. Og i morgen bærer det avsted til København og ølfestivalen!
