🌍 United States · Vienna Lager · One of 21 Vienna Lagers in hopIQ

A Morning In Yakima is a Vienna Lager from Hop Butcher For The World, the Chicago-based craft institution celebrated for its hop-forward sensibility. Poured into the glass, it presents a clear, burnished amber with a creamy off-white head that lingers invitingly. The aroma leans into toasted malt — biscuit, light caramel, and a whisper of Yakima Valley hops lending subtle floral and herbal character. On the palate, it is smooth and medium-bodied, balancing soft malt sweetness with restrained bitterness. Cracker-like grain notes lead into a clean, dry finish with a gentle hop kiss. An approachable yet thoughtfully crafted lager that nods to Pacific Northwestern hop heritage while staying true to the Viennese tradition.
