New Zealand Pilsner
New Zealand Pilsner
Our New Zealand Pilsner is a crisp, lager with a refreshing and distinct tropical fruit and lime hop character that leaves you rushing back to the fridge for more.
Be warned though at 5.8% it might just catch you out.
The hardest part of this beer is leaving it long enough to lager. Although from experience it's worth checking after a week in the keg. For scientific purposes obviously.
A great hop line up of Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin this is a hop-forward, easy-drinking lager that balances the traditional clean lager profile with bold, modern New World hop characters, making it more aromatic and flavourful than many European pilsners.
Our all grain kits come supplied with pre-crushed grains
