Ochil Lager
Ochil is the lighter of the brewery's two permanent lagers, named after the range of hills behind the brewhouse in Alva. Malted barley and wheat form the base; the hop bill combines Magnum, Challenger, Hersbrucker, Celeia, Aurora and Sorachi Ace. The brewery describes bready and floral aromas with a hint of vanilla blossom, a smooth, crisp and clean palate and a subtle, lingering aftertaste. Bitterness stays in the background.

What is a Pale Lager?
Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
