Urbanaut Riwaka Fresh Hop West Coast Pilsner 2025 440mL

Brewery & Style
Brewed by Urbanaut in Auckland, this Fresh Hop West Coast Pilsner is a limited-release beer that captures the electric freshness of the 2025 hop harvest. Featuring whole-cone Riwaka hops brewed within hours of picking, this beer blends the snappy bitterness of a West Coast style with the clean drinkability of a pilsner. It’s crisp, bright, and brimming with New Zealand hop magic.

Aroma
Bright and aromatic with bursting notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, and lime zest. Undertones of crushed herbs and pine needles give it a fresh-off-the-vine intensity.

Palate
Clean, dry, and assertively hoppy. Juicy tropical notes meet citrus pith and a firm herbal bite. The malt profile is lean and crisp, allowing the Riwaka hops to shine through with a lingering, mouthwatering bitterness on the finish. Incredibly refreshing with that signature West Coast edge.

Food Pairing
Excellent with fish tacos, spicy Korean fried chicken, or grilled veggie skewers. Also pairs beautifully with salty fries, fresh ceviche, or a crunchy green salad with citrus vinaigrette.
