Fresh on tap today - direct from Heyday Beer Co in Wellington as part of their First Pour Lager & Sour Series - we have a Dunkel, and a Burnt Orange and Dandelion Spritz.

Dunkel (German for dark) is a dark bavarian style lager - this lager has a deep mahogany hue hinting at complexity, this Dunkel entices the senses. Toasted bread and caramelised malt aromas lead, complemented by a delicate interplay of dark chocolate and cacao. Balanced in flavour and highly drinkable, it combines nutty sweetness with subtle bitterness, ensuring a satisfying exploration with every sip.
Burn Orange Dandelion Spritz - Dive into the effervescent world of this Burnt Orange & Dandelion Spritz, where citrus-driven sensations intertwine w/ the complexity of caramelised sweetness & lively zest. Three different types of macerated dandelion roots add an intriguing depth of earthy bitterness, while the ethereal essence of dandelion flowers impart a honey & floral delicacy. Light & refreshing on the palate, each sip offers a symphony of flavours, making for a truly invigorating experience that dances across the senses.

Last month's Lager sold out almost immediately so be sure to get in quick if you want to try one of these great beers!
