Indy Lager

Tap to rate

Indy Lager is brewed to 4.4 % with malt, classic German aroma hops and Fourpure's house lager yeast, then matured at low temperatures. That cold conditioning brings out a delicate, spicy hop flavour with a note of lemon zest, and the finish is smooth and crisp. The beer has been part of the Fourpure range since 2016 and is sold in cans.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with delicate spicy notes from the Edelhopfen, complemented by a subtle lemon zest character that emerges from cold conditioning. Beneath these top notes lies a soft, clean malt base with a light grainy sweetness, while the house lager yeast contributes a neutral, mineral-clean backdrop without fruity esters.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a light, crisp malt foundation that carries a gentle grainy sweetness without heaviness. Spicy hop flavours develop through the mid-palate, reinforcing the lemon zest impression with a dry, herbaceous quality. Bitterness remains restrained at 18 IBUs, staying in balance and never dominating.
