Pilsner 5 º 27 IBU

Humleland

This New Zealand Pilsner offers a vibrant sensory journey led by a distinctive Southern Hemisphere hop profile. Brewed with Pilsner malt, the beer presents a delicate, bready foundation that supports an explosion of aromatics. Nelson Sauvin hops provide their signature white-wine character, reminiscent of gooseberry and crushed grapes, while Southern Cross contributes bright citrus notes and a subtle resinous undertone. The experience is elegantly balanced, showcasing a clean fermentation that allows the tropical and grassy hop nuances to shine. With a smooth, refreshing finish and a firm but refined bitterness, it exemplifies a sophisticated, hop-forward lager designed for the culinary palate.

Appearance. Yellow-gold (3-4 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a thick, creamy, long-lasting white head with fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop-forward bouquet. Dominant notes of gooseberry and white wine grapes are complemented by lemon zest and a hint of lime. A light, crackery bready malt backbone supports the hops. Clean fermentation profile with no esters and a very low, pleasant sulfury quality.

Taste. Initial impression of bright citrus and tropical fruit. Strong flavors of white grape and passionfruit lead, followed by a soft, grainy-sweet bready malt presence. Medium-high hop bitterness provides a structured balance without being harsh. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering grassy and citrusy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a notably smooth texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a refreshing, crisp prickle. No perceived alcohol warmth; zero astringency.
