Hawkers Pilsner
A pilsner drawing on two hop traditions at once. The German varieties lay down a herbal, faintly peppery base, while the New Zealand additions push it towards lime zest, gooseberry and a soft floral lift. The malt stays pale and biscuity, the body lean, and the bitterness clean rather than assertive. Cold fermented and left dry through the finish, with no residual sweetness rounding off the edges.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Hawkers Pilsner
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
