Helles Lager·Australia·4.3% ABV·One of 339 Helles Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Holgate Draught Lager's bready and herbal character. A helles in the German manner, brewed with Australian pale and Munich malt plus Carapils and hopped with Hallertau. It pours pale gold and opens with a light citrus hop note over honeyed malt. The palate is bready and gently sweet, balanced by herbal noble hop character, and the finish is clean and dry with a mild bitterness that lingers. The beer carried the name Norton Lager until 2022.
