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 and Nelson Sauvin. These
give the initial hit of citrus fruit and 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 and Pacific Jade hops. The darker speciality
malts provide a more complex malty caramel flavour that gives this brew a well rounded
character.
Speight’s Cider

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, and is expertly coupled to a dry finish, which leaves you wanting more of this
amber cider.

Flavour characteristics: Brewed with only natural ingredients, Speight’s Summit Lager is a
smooth flavoured lager free of artificial additives and preservatives. With the addition of
the Pacific Hallertau hop variety added late in the brew. Speight’s Summit Lager delivers a
smooth, crisp and refreshing taste with less of the maltiness associated with Speight’s Gold
Medal Ale.

Flavour characteristics: Speight’s Porter is a red-black beer with a rich, robust palate
and complex full aromas. A blend of crystal, caramalt, roasted wheat and chocolate malt
combine to give a complex, smoky, mocha aroma and a rich coffee flavour which finishes on
a subtle chocolate note.

Flavour characteristics: Speight’s MID Ale is brewed using the specialty malts Crystal,

and Green Bullet hops to the kettle boil to release their hoppy bitterness.
