Future Brewing

This modern German Pils bridges the gap between classic lager drinkability and California IPA intensity. A lean, crackery malt base provides a crisp canvas for an aggressive dry-hopping regime. High-intensity aromatics of zesty lime from Motueka mingle with the distinctive white wine and gooseberry notes of Nelson. Nectaron adds layers of ripe peach and tropical fruit. The palate is brilliantly clean and snappy, delivering a firm, resinous bitterness that lingers into a bone-dry finish. It maintains the elegant, medium-light structure of a traditional lager while showcasing a vibrant, Southern Hemisphere-driven hop profile that defines the West Coast hybrid style.

Appearance. Straw to pale yellow (2-3 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a dense, creamy, long-lasting white head that leaves intricate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High hop intensity featuring zesty lime, crushed white grapes, and passionfruit. Subtle notes of nectarine and peach overlay a low, grainy-sweet malt character reminiscent of fresh crackers. Clean fermentation profile with no yeast-derived esters.

Taste. Initial flash of bready malt is quickly overtaken by a bold hop presence. Flavors of lime zest, gooseberry, and tropical stone fruit dominate the mid-palate. Medium-high bitterness is sharp and clean, leading into a dry, crisp, and snappy finish with a lingering resinous hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation that enhances the snappy, refreshing character. The texture is smooth yet brisk, lacking any harsh astringency or alcohol warmth.
