ZENIT CZECH PALE LAGER
Czech Pale Lager
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 4.2%
Suggested Glassware: Krug
Tasting Notes: Zenit, is both the Italian and the Czech translation of the word zenith. For many beer lovers, pale lagers are the zenith of beer. To emulate the centuries old classic, we brewed this complex lager with Bohemian Pilsner malt which we decoction mashed for added colour and body. Loads of Czech Saaz hops were used in the kettle for a prominent herbal and grassy hop character that seems to escape from the glass. Aromas of lemon balm, green tea and classic noble hop spice lead to flavours of fresh baked bread and honey with a balanced bitterness that travels through the pallet.

ABV: 5.5%
Suggested Glassware: Pilsner Glass

This unique style of Pilsner breaks out of its shell with 100% Vancouver Island Pilsner malt from Field Five Farm and 100% local Sterling hops from our friends at Barnside Brewing. Oyster shells from Fanny Bay were used to modify the water profile giving Mare a nice salinity and a complex minerality. It pours a bright straw-yellow with a pearly white head. Expect aromas of the ocean alongside bright lemon and fresh cut grass. With its medium body and smooth mouthfeel from the natural carbonation, Mare is shore to be your perfect companion for sunny days by the sea.
