🌍 Canada · Amber Lager · One of 17 Amber Lagers in hopIQ

The flagship pours a clear amber and carries a fresh malt bouquet: caramel sweetness, a nutty edge of toasted bread, and a mild floral hop lift over the top. Fire-brewing in the copper kettle builds a rich, lightly nutty malt body, which is set against a dry hop bitterness rather than left sweet. The finish stays balanced, with hop character lingering slightly. Malt, hops, spring water and yeast only, and never pasteurised.

Aroma

The nose opens with a clean, fresh malt character dominated by caramel sweetness and toasted bread notes. A subtle nutty edge emerges from the fire-brewed process, while gentle floral hop aromatics sit lightly atop the bouquet without dominating. The overall effect is inviting and well-balanced, with no harsh or off-notes.

Taste

Entry is smooth and lightly nutty, with a rich malt body that carries caramel and toasty notes across the mid-palate. The beer transitions from malt-forward to a dry, assertive hop bitterness that prevents any cloying sweetness; the interplay between these elements creates genuine balance. A crisp, clean character runs throughout, emphasizing the quality of the spring water and minimal ingredient list.
