Sauvin Smash: A Refreshing Hoppy Lager from Shakespeare Tavern & Brewery Hailing from the renowned Shakespeare Tavern & Brewery in New Zealand, the Sauvin Smash is a limited-release blonde ale that promises a delightful and aromatic experience. Brewed with a 5.0% alcohol content, this beer is a true testament to the art of craftsmanship. The Sauvin Smash boasts a bright golden color with a crisp white head that leaves a delicate lacing on the glass. The aroma is a burst of citrusy and tropical hop notes, including grapefruit, lime, passionfruit, and mango, complemented by herbal and grassy undertones reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. On the palate, the medium-bodied and thirst-quenching beer delivers a dominant citrus and tropical fruit flavor, with hints of pine and grassiness. A gentle bitterness balances the sweetness of the hops, creating a harmonious and refreshing experience. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean, with a lively carbonation that adds to the beer's refreshing nature. The finish is moderate, leaving a lingering hop flavor on the tongue, inviting you to savor every sip. Whether you're enjoying a summer barbecue or pairing it with seafood or Mexican cuisine, the Sauvin Smash is a must-try for beer enthusiasts seeking a unique and flavorful experience.
