🌍 Canada · American Adjunct Lager · One of 13 American Adjunct Lagers in hopIQ

A pale lager brewed with pilsner malt and heritage corn, both grown locally. The corn thins the malt body and leaves a faint sweetness like fresh corn kernels, while Hersbrucker and Tettnanger give grassy and floral aroma with a light herbal spice. The malt itself reads as soft bread and honey. Light on the palate, finishing clean and short with a mild bitterness.

Aroma

The nose leads with soft herbal and grassy notes from Hersbrucker and Tettnanger hops, layered with gentle floral undertones. Local pilsner malt contributes a clean, bread-like maltiness with hints of honey and subtle corn sweetness. The overall impression is fresh and restrained, with no sharp or intrusive qualities.

Taste

The palate is light and clean on entry, with soft bread and honey from the malt immediately apparent. The locally grown corn thins the body and introduces a faint kernel-like sweetness that balances the malt character. Hop bitterness emerges gradually in the mid-palate as a mild, herbal presence without harshness.
