Sawmill Fresh Hop Pilsner 5.5% 440ml

Brewery & Style
Brewed in Matakana, just north of Auckland, Sawmill Brewery continues to lead the way in sustainable, independent brewing. Their Fresh Hop Pilsner is a seasonal favourite, crafted with whole-cone hops harvested and brewed within hours to lock in vibrant aromatics and grassy intensity. A celebration of the hop harvest, this is a truly time-sensitive release.

Aroma
The nose is instantly green and zesty—think freshly crushed hops, citrus zest, and a wild meadow after rain. Herbaceous notes of cut grass and lemon balm mingle with a touch of white pepper and floral spice.

Palate
Crisp and clean with a satisfying malt backbone, the palate bursts open with citrus peel, fresh herbs, and a snap of green hop bitterness. There’s a refreshingly dry finish that leaves you reaching for another sip. Perfectly balanced and utterly smashable, this is pilsner with a punch of seasonal freshness.

Food Pairing
Try it with lightly battered fish and chips, herbed roast chicken, or grilled halloumi and lemon. Its lively bitterness also cuts through creamy dishes like pasta primavera or carbonara beautifully.
