Green Beacon Brewing Co.

India Pale Lager·Australia·6% ABV·One of 22 India Pale Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Play The Changes's hoppy and citrusy character. Play The Changes is sold by Green Beacon as a West Coast pilsner, a hop-forward lager brewed to 6.0 % ABV with Citra, El Dorado and Galaxy. Zesty citrus opens the aroma before mango, peach and ripe pear build on the palate. A crisp malt base links the fruit to a modern, noticeable bitterness, and the beer finishes dry. The lager fermentation keeps the profile clean, so the hop character stands out clearly against the lean body.
