Heaps of Kiwi-as hops in this pale crisp pseudo-lager. Chuck 'em in at the end and she'll be right. Perfect for sipping in the sun with your jandals on under a Pohutakawa tree while you wait for your snags to grill on the barbie.
Thought this was heading south at bottling time as after a fairly long primary I got a few wisps of wild yeast looking stuff around the surface and it wasn't quite as fresh tasting as I thought... But after conditioning it's totally fine. Great pale golden colour and nice and clear. Totally tastes like I blended some sauvignon blanc in there, really unique hop profile. Slightly maltier than expected too for mainly Pils malt, maybe I mashed a bit high or it's the kolsch yeast influence, still great though. Happier than before with the bitterness to sweetness balance. Could go a touch hoppier still, may dry hop next time but that'd make it more of a pale ale.
