South Island

◎ Aussehen

South Island presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, crystalline quality in the glass. The head forms delicately and maintains a fine, tight lacing along the sides. Carbonation is gentle yet present, evident in a steady stream of fine bubbles.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a subtle malt sweetness that grounds the profile, complemented by the distinctive white grape character of Nelson Sauvin. Floral and herbal notes emerge quietly in the background, without aggressive hop volatility. The overall impression is refined and understated, inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and bright, with gentle fruit notes reminiscent of gooseberry sitting lightly on the palate. The mid-palate remains crisp and refreshing, maintaining the fruit character while showing only mild bitterness. Body is slim and light, never cloying, allowing the dry finish to develop naturally.

◑ Abgang

The finish arrives quickly and dries cleanly, with the fruit notes fading to leave a subtle herbal whisper. No lingering sweetness or heavy aftertaste; instead, an inviting dryness that encourages the next sip.
