A: Pours a relatively clear medium golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of fine active visible carbonation rising from the bottom of the glass and moderate bright yellow + amber colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall sudsy foamy white head that quickly reduces to a small patch of thin film surrounded by a large patch of very slightly mottled very thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Minimal amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Moderate aromas of bready + doughy + cracker malts with a minimal amount of grainy sweetness along with light to moderate aromas of herbal + floral + spicy hops. Light aromas of lager yeast.

T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of bready + doughy + cracker malts with a minimal amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by light flavors of lager yeast. Finally there are light to moderate flavors of herbal + floral + spicy hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which fades away leaving a clean finish.

M: Light to medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a clean finish.

O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a crisp refreshing mouthfeel. Enjoyable and very well constructed. I could easily have quite a few of these. Perfect for this very warm NC Spring day.

Pours a crystal clear light golden with a full two finger bone white head atop that settles very slowly leaving broken rings of lace behind as it settles.Floral hops burst out at ya in the nose,light bready malts,and more hop spice,quite a big aromas profile for the style.Fresh citric and peppery flavors upfront followed by toasted bready malts with just a hint of honey-like sweetness and mineral in the finish.Wow what a pilsner,maybe the best I have had,just fantastic.

Pours a mostly clear yellow-gold color with a tall, lumpy white head. Fresh flowery hop aromas...spicy herbs, dough, and crackers. More noble hop like hops in the flavor, light cereal malt balance. Crisp, medium-light body - dry, but a touch under-carbonated. Not a huge amount of character from the Motueka and honestly, that's not such a bad thing for me. Very well crafted.

A damn fine pils and probably the best lager I’ve had from New Anthem. Motueka hops are present, but pretty restrained and it’s closer to a traditional pils than I expected. Right on the mark for what I am looking for.
