West Lag
West Lag is a West Coast IPA that Birrone finishes with a period of cold lagering. It is copper-coloured with a thin head and a delicate profile: restrained citrus and fruit notes run through both aroma and palate. The lagering adds a markedly clean character and makes the beer easy to drink. 6.5 %.
