🌍 Australia · Australian Lager · One of 30 Australian Lagers in hopIQ

The beer the brand rebuilt itself on, fermented far longer than usual so that most of the malt sugar is converted and little sweetness is left behind. It pours pale straw under a short-lived white head and opens grainy and cracker-like, with grassy hops and a thin edge of lemon peel behind it. The palate is dry and faintly bready, briskly carbonated, with a restrained citrus-rind bitterness and an abrupt clean finish. Brewed on pale lager malt with a touch of roasted and speciality malt, hop extract and cane sugar.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hahn SuperDry

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, luminous quality in the glass. The white head forms modestly but dissipates quickly, leaving minimal lacing on the walls. Fine carbonation is evident throughout, with steady streams of tiny bubbles rising through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh grain and cracker-like malt notes, immediately followed by herbaceous, grassy hop character. A subtle lemon peel citrus edge emerges on closer inspection, balanced by the clean fermentation profile typical of extended lagering. Overall impression is restrained and dry, with no sweet malt or fruity esters.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and dry with a faint bready malt foundation that carries through the mid-palate. Brisk carbonation accentuates the citrus-rind bitterness, which builds gently without overwhelming. The palate remains lean and structured, with minimal residual sweetness from the extended fermentation process.
