The Wheaty are always learning and adapting their techniques, tweaking their recipes in the pursuit of perfection, and their latest sees them dip-hopping for their old-world-meets-new-world lager brewed with Bridge Road Brewers.
Even though Australia's Enigma and Eclipse hops are the centrepiece of this beer, you could comfortably assume it to be a Kiwi pilsner. Fortune Keller takes on a lot of those familiar white wine characters, especially in the aroma, mixed in with a touch of orange citrus and a little honey while the lean and clean nature of the lager provides a great platform for the fresh hops to shine.
Much like the aromas, the crisp white grape flavours star, alongside a strong showing of gooseberry, lychees, orange peel and some honey on the backend.
