Sundog
If the sky is clear and cool, and you’re very lucky, you might witness a sundog: apparitions that accompany the true sun, an atmospheric trick of light and ice. Our own Sundog, a pilsner starring the vivid passionfruit and white wine notes of New Zealand hops, is much easier to find, but just as crisp and bright.
When is NZ Pilsner actually a Pilsner? When it’s Sea Spray Dry-hopped Pilsner! Brewed like a proper pilsner but macrodosed (in whirlpool + dry-hopping) with Riwaka & Nelson Sauvin. This makes for a lean, crisp, lager base with big, green, dank oily notes backed with delicate passionfruit for a clean, dry smashable beer with enough bitterness to keep you coming back for more.
Brewed fermented to not more than 0.5% (not alcohol removed), using a lager yeast and lager conditioned.Dry hopped with Nectaron, Motueka and El Dorado hops for characters of stonefruit, mojito lime and tropical fruit.Crisp and refreshing as a Pilsner should be.
Far North Chili Pilsner is Northland in a beer. A classic New Zealand-style Pilsner with a heroic dose of our fave Kiwi hot sauce, it's all capsicum, surf and summer out of the gate. Spicy and hoppy over a smooth cracker-like malt base, the finish is crisp and dry. It's the beer for every day, every backyard Kiwi BBQ and every sunny weekend ahead.
