On-draught @ Smiths Craft Beer House, Queenstown, New Zealand.
$12 NZD per pint (500ml).
Billed as a pilsner.
Overhopped by traditional pilsner conventions, but it's pleasantly hopped. Muted passionfruit and subtle gooseberry & white wine flavour (from Riwaka and Nelson, respectively).
I don't know that this beer showcases either hop to their utmost, but they're going for a German pilsner malt/NZ hop IPL sort of thing, and it does work well enough.
True to its namesake, it has a powdery soft feel on the palate. Crisp. There's some minerality on the back end that lends a kiss of bitterness, but I think it's from the malts (it ain't bitterness from hops).
Drinkable and likable, but it ends up drinking like an IPL encaged by German malts that just wants to be set free.
