🌍 Canada · India Pale Lager · One of 5 India Pale Lagers in hopIQ

A pale lager hopped the way an ale would be, clear straw gold under a bright white head. Galaxy and Motueka push passionfruit, peach and a sharp lime note into the aroma, with lemongrass underneath. The malt base stays thin and cracker-dry so the hops sit in front, the bitterness is moderate and clean, and the finish is crisp with citrus zest lingering.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Oceania

Appearance

Clear straw gold body with excellent transparency. A bright white head sits firmly atop the surface, displaying fine carbonation and good retention that clings to the glass sides as the beer is consumed. The overall presentation is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-executed pale lager.

Aroma

Galaxy and Motueka hops deliver a vibrant aromatic profile centered on passionfruit and peach, with a distinctive sharp lime zest cutting through. Lemongrass notes provide herbal depth beneath the fruit-forward character, creating a layered and complex nose. The malt base remains subdued, allowing hop character to dominate.

Taste

Entry is crisp and bright, with citrus notes arriving immediately on the palate. The thin, cracker-dry malt foundation keeps the beer light and allows moderate, clean bitterness to integrate seamlessly with tropical and stone fruit flavors. Mid-palate remains dry without astringency, letting hop character shine through cleanly.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.
