Hop Nation Peach Lager

Tap to rate

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.

◌ Aroma

◐ 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.
