Anzac
A 6.0% pale ale built around Anzac biscuits: oats, golden syrup and toasted coconut go into the brew, together with the biscuits themselves. Pilot's keywords are coconutty, sweet and malty. The hops come from Australia and New Zealand, Eclipse and Rakau in the 2026 edition, and the brewery credits them with fruity citrus tones. Earlier editions used other varieties. Released each spring since 2023.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Anzac
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
