The first time I made this, I bittered with Hallertauer Mittelfruh, which provided an interesting interplay between pumpkin spice and tropical fruit.

For the repeat batch, I elected to bitter with Azacca as well aiming to get something in the vein of a New Zealand pilsner, with much worse results. Tropical fruit flavors are entirely gone, and the resulting beer tastes much more like a one note, Chinook-forward IPA. It's not undrinkable, but I wouldn't make it on purpose.

I'm not sure if the Hallertauer notes helped bring out the fruit in the first batch or if my Azacca just has too much age on it. Could be worth another attempt for science.
