Tap to rate

Dive Beer is an all-malt lager that pours pale gold under a white head. Fresh-baked bread comes up front, the maltiness is checked by a modest hop addition, and a clean lager finish closes it out. The body stays light at 4.2% ABV and 12 IBU. Mt. Hood and German Saphir are the hops, and the first batch was brewed in 2024.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dive Beer

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with fresh-baked bread and soft grain character from all-malt construction. Subtle noble-hop aromatics emerge in the background, contributing restrained floral and herbal notes without dominating the profile. Clean lager yeast character allows the malt and hop foundation to remain in focus.

◐ Taste

Entry brings a light, clean malty sweetness with evident breadiness that recalls warm grain and subtle caramel undertones. The mid-palate remains lean and crisp, with Mt. Hood and Saphir hops providing modest bittering and dry balance rather than assertive flavor. Low IBU (12) keeps bitterness gentle and supportive.
