Beers similar to Hawke's Lager

Hawke's Brewing Co.

Australian Lager·Australia·4.2% ABV·One of 45 Australian Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Hawke's Lager's dry and bready character. Hawke's Lager was the company's first beer and remains its flagship, an Australian-style lager brewed in Marrickville from local barley and wheat. It pours pale gold with a light, crisp body. The nose shows a subtle citrus note over clean cracker and grainy pale malt, while the wheat lends a soft, faintly bready texture. Bitterness stays light, and the beer closes with a gentle dry finish and a faint edge of lemon zest.
