Citizen Beer by Sawmill Brewery is a captivating pilsner that takes you on a journey through the vibrant flavors of New Zealand. Brewed with the finest locally-grown barley and hops, this refreshing beer pours a crystal-clear golden color, topped with a crisp white head. The aroma is a delicate dance of freshly cut hay, subtle citrus, and delicate floral notes, complemented by a touch of crackery maltiness. The flavor profile is equally enticing, with a crisp, clean, and refreshing balance of maltiness and hop bitterness. Hints of grassy hops, citrus peel, and a hint of spice linger on the tongue, while a light sweetness adds depth and complexity. Citizen Beer is a true testament to the exceptional brewing ingredients found in New Zealand. With its light-bodied and highly carbonated structure, this pilsner delivers a dry finish with a refreshing crispness. The subtle bitterness lingers, leaving a clean and palate-cleansing aftertaste, making it an ideal companion for a wide range of dishes, from seafood to spicy Asian cuisine.
