Holgate Draught Lager

◎ Appearance

Pours a pale gold with excellent clarity and a bright, white head that settles to a fine collar. The carbonation is visibly crisp, with steady bubbles rising through the clear body. Schaumhaftung is moderate and persistent, leaving delicate lacing on the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a light citrus hop character, delicate and herbaceous rather than aggressive. Beneath sits a soft honeyed malt sweetness reminiscent of bread dough and light caramel undertones. Noble hop aromatics remain restrained and refined, inviting further exploration without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with a bready maltiness that develops into gentle honey sweetness across the mid-palate. Herbal noble hop character provides structure and a subtle floral balance. Bitterness builds moderately toward the finish, never harsh, with a dry quality that keeps the palate refreshed.

◑ Finish

The finish transitions cleanly and dry, with a mild bitterness that lingers pleasantly without astringency. A subtle malt sweetness fades gradually, leaving the palate dry and ready for the next sip.
