Ace Lager

Tap to rate

A table lager at 3.2 %, straw-coloured with sparkling clarity and a fluffy head. The malt flavours are delicate, and the finish is clean and herbal with a lemon-lime note that comes from Sorachi Ace and Saaz hops. Maize and rice lighten the grist. Drinkers at the brewery's bars call it light, crisp and zesty. It appeared in 2024 and was poured at the taproom and at Nobles through the winter and spring of 2025/26.
