2 days ago I pitched a brew of a SMASH designed to be a bit like the NZ mainstreams I liked when I was there, basically pale malt, some sugaz and a single addition of Dr Rudi to an IBU of around 22.
The thing that struck me about NZ pub megas like Summit and Export Gold was that, on tap, they are very clean in a refreshing way but supply quite a nice and surprising whiff of hop when you burp up the back of the nose, as one tends to do when wandering around Welly after a few.
I'm considering dry hopping tomorrow or Monday with 20g more of Dr Rudi, has anyone done this ? Supposedly pine needles and lemongrass.
