🍺 Hatsukoi, meaning 'first love', is a Japanese-inspired lager that embodies the clean and crisp qualities of a pilsner with a modern touch. Brewed using the traditional first press method with light malted barley and rice, it offers a delicate noble hop character that is both refreshing and inviting.
Crafted by Garage Project in Wellington, New Zealand, Hatsukoi reflects the fusion of Japanese brewing aesthetics with New Zealand's innovative approach. The beer is further distinguished by the artistic contribution of Kumiko Matsumoto.
This lager is light and refreshing, perfectly balancing malt sweetness with a crisp rice finish. The subtle hop aroma adds depth, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a refined lager experience.
With a 5% ABV, it is ideal for a casual session, pairing well with a range of dishes due to its versatility.
