India Pale Lager
A clearly noticeable hop aroma with a mainly fruity citrus character, softened by floral notes and a touch of young white wine. On the palate a balanced maltiness and fullness lead into a slowly rising bitterness. Golden with a white, creamy head. It borrows IPA-style hops (Vital, Spalter Select, Cascade and El Dorado) but takes the lager route of bottom fermentation.
