🌍 United States · Helles Lager · One of 108 Helles Lagers in hopIQ

49th State's Helles-style flagship lager — named for the eight stars of gold on the Alaska flag. Brewed with pure glacial water, it drinks with bready Munich-malt notes, a whisper of noble hop, and a crisp, clean finish that ends before it lingers. Alaska in a can, done straight.
