\"Twisted<\/a>
Twisted Hop 'Sauvin' Pilsner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brother and stable-mate of the previous IPA<\/a>, and further magic out of the usually-all-bad city of Christchurch. It’s a very different sort of a pilsner, and as such might not be liked by people who are regulars to a pint of the (perfectly good) Tuatara Pilsner or whatnot. But I loved it to bits. It’s got a hugely grapey opening, which (I am reliably informed) is a signature of the Nelson Sauvin hops — them that showed up as the golden-kiwifruitiness of the (utterly adorable) Three Boys Golden Ale<\/a>. It’s long and complex, and totally refreshing at the same time. With that white-winey-ness, it strikes me as being like a gruntified Emerson’s Pilsner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Twisted<\/a>
Diary entry #68, Twisted Hop 'Sauvin' Pils<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Verbatim:<\/strong> Twisted Hop Sauvin Pilsner. 29\/12\/08 $8 @ work 5%. The brother of the IPA above. And further magic. Hugely grapey opening, which Olly says is a Sauvin trait. It’s long and complex, but still totally refreshing. Like a gruntified Emerson’s Pils, brewed with foot firm on the gas.<\/p>\n

Afterthoughts, November 2010:<\/strong> This really would come close, if the data were ever examined, to being the all-time, all-round, all-staff Malthouse favourite. We positively zip through this stuff when we’ve managed to wrangle a keg or two; and probably half<\/em> the sales are directly to the staff. It’s just so delicious, so different, and so refreshing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
