Meenans Lager: A Refreshing New Zealand Delight Hailing from the shores of New Zealand, Meenans Lager is a classic and well-executed pale lager that offers a delightful balance of flavors. Pouring a clear, golden hue with a medium-sized, white head that dissipates slowly, this lager presents an inviting appearance. The aroma is clean and crisp, with notes of malt, grass, and a hint of floral hops, providing a tantalizing preview of the flavors to come. On the palate, the taste is well-balanced, with an upfront malty sweetness followed by a gentle bitterness from the hops. Subtle flavors of biscuit, corn, and a touch of citrus add complexity, while the finish remains crisp and refreshing. Meenans Lager's medium-bodied and smooth mouthfeel, coupled with a moderate level of carbonation, creates a truly enjoyable drinking experience. This lager's versatility makes it a great companion for a variety of food pairings, making it a reliable choice for any occasion.
