Lager houblonnée des monts

Canada·Dry-Hopped Lager
Tap to rate

A pale, hop-forward lager from 2026, brewed with Motueka and Mosaic. Citrus leads the aroma with some precision, lemon and lime rather than a general fruitiness, and a light herbal note sits behind it. The malt keeps to a plain cereal character and stays out of the way. The attack is brisk, the texture light and the finish dry and short, so the hop aroma carries the beer while the bitterness stays in the background.

◌ Aroma

The hop character dominates with precise citrus notes—lemon and lime stand distinctly apart rather than blending into general fruit. A light herbal undertone adds complexity without obscuring the citrus, while the Malz remains deliberately neutral, offering only a faint cereal foundation that allows the hops to lead.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a brisk, crisp attack that emphasizes hop aromatics over bitterness—the bittering remains measured and backgrounded. The body is light and clean throughout, with the Malz providing minimal sweetness and staying well out of the way. The finish arrives quickly and dries decisively, allowing the hop aroma to linger as the dominant sensory memory.
