Pilsner 5 º

La Superbe

This New Zealand Pilsner delivers a vibrant, modern profile defined by its distinct Southern Hemisphere hop trio. Motueka and Riwaka drive a punchy citrus and tropical core, offering bright notes of lime zest and pink grapefruit, while Nelson Sauvin adds a refined layer of crushed white grapes and gooseberry. The sensory experience is built on a clean, crackery malt base that provides a soft, bready support without overshadowing the hop intensity. Brilliantly clear with a crisp, bitter finish, it combines the structural drinkability of a traditional lager with the aromatic flair of a boutique white wine, concluding with a smooth, refreshing mouthfeel.

Appearance. Straw to pale yellow-gold (3-4 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a dense, creamy white head that exhibits excellent persistence and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity hop aromatics featuring lime, grapefruit, and sweet honeydew melon. A notable white wine character with hints of gooseberry and fresh grass. Supporting malt is low to moderate, presenting as bready and neutral with a very clean, sulfur-free fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial bready malt sweetness is quickly overtaken by firm hop bitterness. Flavors of lime, tropical fruit, and grape-like fruitiness are prominent. The balance is decisively bitter but smooth, leading to a dry, clean finish with a lingering citrusy aftertaste and no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. Medium-high carbonation provides a refreshing prickle on the tongue. Smooth throughout with no perceived alcohol heat or hop astringency.
