Trouble In The Fields

Canada·American Adjunct Lager
Tap to rate

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.

◐ 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.
