Binch

Tap to rate

A pale lager in the American mould, brewed dry and made to be drunk cold. The malt is light and clean, a soft bread and grain sweetness that never builds, and the hopping stays low, showing only a faint grassy bitterness at the edges. The body is thin and the carbonation firm, so it comes across crisp rather than filling. The close is quick, dry and close to neutral.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with a delicate bread-grain sweetness that develops briefly before fading. The palate remains dry and lean, allowing a low grassy bitterness to register at the edges without building intensity. The body is thin and clean, never cloying, finishing with a dry quality that prepares the palate for the next sip.
