Brewhouse Ultra

Great Western Brewing Company
Canada·Light Lager
Tap to rate

A light lager in the drier style, made without stripping the beer bare. It shows pale gold, with an aroma of dry cereal and a thin thread of grassy hop laid over it. The palate is dry and light with a clean malt note through the middle, and the bitterness reads as crispness more than as flavour. Carbonation runs high, the body slight, and the finish quick and dry with nothing sweet trailing after.
