🌍 Australia · Lager · One of 152 Lagers in hopIQ

Hop Nation Peach Lager is a collaboration with the Melbourne barbecue restaurant Fancy Hank's. Peaches from a grower in Mornington were cut by hand, pureed and added to a crisp lager. The fruit shows as fresh, juicy peach with a soft natural sweetness over a clean, lightly bready pale malt base. The body is light and the carbonation lively, and the finish ends bright and dry with only a gentle hop bitterness.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a bright, crystalline quality. The head forms dense and white, with fine bubbles that cling persistently to the glass wall, creating delicate lacing on each sip. Lively carbonation rises steadily through the body.

Aroma

Fresh stone fruit dominates the nose, with juicy peach character that feels natural and hand-picked rather than artificial. Supporting notes of clean, lightly bready pale malt provide a subtle grainy backdrop. A faint whisper of gentle hop spice emerges beneath, adding quiet complexity without aggressive bitterness.

Taste

The palate opens with bright, juicy peach that carries genuine fruit sweetness without cloying character. The crisp pale malt base sits cleanly underneath, offering a light bready structure that frames the fruit. Gentle hop bitterness arrives mid-palate, enough to keep the beer from heaviness, but resolves quickly into a clean, dry finish.
