Hop Nation Brewing Co.

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

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Footscray Draft's dry and malty character. Footscray Draft is Hop Nation's take on the everyday pub lager long poured in the working-class suburb around the brewery. It pours a clear copper gold with a white head. Subtle malt sweetness leads, with notes of bread crust and light caramel, joined by grassy, lightly herbal hop character. A mild bitterness keeps the beer in balance, and the finish is crisp and dry. The lager is built for easy refreshment rather than intensity.
