Yeastie Boys  —  Melon Balls

Dortmunder Melon Lager

Shop reserved for Trade Accounts

Melon Balls is the crispy boi you need as we transition from spring to summer. A complex yet elegant malt grist is the foundation upon which melon, lemon, and lime notes of Huell Melon and Cashmere hops are layered before the gentle amplification of honeydew melon. Make no mistake – this is still a Dortmunder Lager but it is a deliciously fruity and refreshing one.
Our head brewer JK used to be at Marble Brewery, among other excellent places. When Yeastie Boys’ founder Stu collaborated with him, on an NZ-hopped Maibock a few years back, the resulting beer ended up with a description that mentioned “melon balls”.

This tickled both of their fancies, and triggered imaginations, so the idea of Melon Balls was sprung long before JK came to work with us.

Melon Balls is inspired by the classic minerally lagers of Dortmund, which JK and Stu love so much, and features their low bitterness and delicate sub-threshold malt complexity. However, in a classic Yeastie Boys twist, we’ve pushed the boat well out beyond the Reinheitsgebot with the addition of two types of honeydew melon alongside some delightfully fruity new world hops.
