Mill Street Brewery

Dry-Hopped Lager·Canada·4.8% ABV·One of 22 Dry-Hopped Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Blue Wave's hoppy and citrusy character. A lager built to carry the hop aroma of an IPA without its weight, left unfiltered and gently hazy in pale gold. The nose does most of the work: melon, lemon and lime over a soft tropical fruit note, with pale malt sitting quietly underneath. The palate stays lean and clean in the lager manner, the juicy hop character reading more as flavour than as bitterness, and the finish is crisp and short.
