Pressure Drop New Zealand Pils
A pilsner built around two New Zealand hop varieties, Nelson Sauvin and Motueka. The brewery describes it as fresh, clean and crisp, with the hops adding fresh fruit notes; typical of these varieties are white grape, gooseberry and lime. Barley alone forms the light, bready malt base, and the finish is dry and brisk. The beer has no name of its own and is sold under the plain style description, returning to the range regularly.
