Flavour characteristics:­The first thing that strikes you about the Triple Hop Pilsner is the
light golden colour true to the pilsner style of beer. Being a pilsner it’s a hop dominated
brew, in this case we use the hop varieties; Cascades, Green Bullet & Nelson Sauvin.
These give the initial hit of citrus fruit & fresh green hop character. It’s the hop sharpness
that gives a refreshingly crisp taste on the palate at first. Then the classic pilsner malt
flavour kicks in to provide a light malty biscuit background, the slight bitterness of the
hops.

Flavour characteristics: This is a dark lager style beer. It sets itself apart from typical
lagers through the subtle sweetness of slightly caramelised malts with relatively little
hop bitterness or flavour from the Green Bullet & Pacific Jade hops. The darker speciality
malts provide a more complex malty caramel flavour that gives this brew a well rounded
character.

Flavour characteristics: Speight’s brings you a well balanced, refreshing cider. The full
bodied profile comes from the batch fermentation of juice sourced from 100% New
Zealand grown apples, & is expertly coupled to a dry finish, which leaves you wanting
more of this amber cider.

a smooth flavoured lager free of artificial additives & preservatives. With the addition of
the Pacific Hallertau hop variety added late in the brew. Speight's Summit Lager delivers

Gold Medal Ale.
