Sovereign Island
A gluten-free pale lager at 4.2 %, hopped with Spalter and Centennial. Fresh bread and honey come through on the nose, with soft floral and citrus notes from the hops behind them. It drinks clean, crisp and light, lively in carbonation, and ends on a small hop bite. The beer first appeared in 2015 as 1601 Lager.
