Lighter in alcohol yet still full of flavour, this NZ lager is named after the local legends that once toiled for years in the heat looking for gold. Built in a straightforward style but with obvious quality, this beer is appreciated by the hot and bothered as well as 5-star beer geeks. A blend of several malts that deliver a clean, yet flavourful, beer.
After many trials, we discovered that using a tolerant ale yeast and fermenting with very cold temperatures could retain the clean and dry Lager style with the added benefit of greater aroma and flavour. Much more interesting than a standard Lager but still super refreshing.
