Moonwake Nelson Lager
Pale Lager 4.8 º
This American Lager bridges Scottish provenance with New Zealand influence. Brewed with soft Scottish water and Scottish barley, the base offers a clean, crisp, grainy-sweet foundation. The standout character comes from the use of Nelson Sauvin hops, which impart distinctive, vibrant notes of gooseberry and white grape against a neutral fermentation profile. It is a precision-driven lager, offering a spritzy carbonation that elevates the delicate fruitiness while maintaining the refreshing, high-attenuation qualities typical of the style. The result is a highly drinkable, modern interpretation of a classic light lager with a sophisticated hop-forward twist.
Appearance. Color is very pale straw (2-3.5 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It supports a white, frothy head with moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity with a clean, grainy-sweet malt character from the Scottish barley. Distinct hop aromas of white grape and gooseberry from the Nelson Sauvin are prominent, supported by a clean fermentation profile free of esters or diacetyl.
Taste. The initial impression is crisp and neutral, featuring a low grainy malt flavor. The palate is defined by light vinous and tropical hop flavors of grape and gooseberry. Bitterness is low to medium-low, balancing the malt for a neutral to slightly bitter impression. The finish is very dry and clean with a short, refreshing aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation providing a prickly carbonic bite on the tongue. Smooth mouthfeel with no alcohol warmth and zero astringency.
