🌍 Australia · Light Lager · One of 31 Light Lagers in hopIQ

A light beer built to keep flavour at low strength, brewed from pale and crystal malt with both bittering and aroma hops. Light honey opens the nose alongside a soft floral, herbal hop note, followed by a spicy and faintly fruity character. The malt stays mild and lightly bready, the head dense. Bitterness is rounded but clearly present for the strength and lingers moderately into a clean finish.
