Bluejacket

Heavy Metal Drummer is a vibrant New Zealand Pilsner that highlights the zesty, expressive nature of New Zealand-grown Motueka hops. On the nose, it offers a sophisticated bouquet of bright lime zest, tropical fruit, and a distinct herbal whisper of basil. The palate is punchy yet refined, featuring a clean, bready malt backbone that supports the hop-forward character without overwhelming it. Flavors of lemon-lime and soft melon lead to a smooth, cleanly bitter finish that remains refreshing and crisp. With its brilliant clarity and effervescent nature, this collaboration captures a bright, modern hop profile while maintaining the structural elegance of a classic lager.

Appearance. Straw to pale yellow-gold (3-4 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a tall, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves persistent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high hop intensity featuring bright lime zest, tropical fruit, and a unique herbal basil note. Supported by a medium-low bready and crackery malt character. Fermentation is clean with no detectable esters.

Taste. Initial impression is zesty and hop-forward with prominent lemon-lime and tropical fruit flavors. A clean, grainy-sweet and bready malt presence provides a solid base. Medium-high hop bitterness is firm but smooth, never harsh. The finish is dry to off-dry and very clean, with lingering notes of lime and grass.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a lively and refreshing effervescence. No alcohol warmth or astringency present.
