Lone Star Beer

Tap to rate

Balanced, refreshing, delicious — the National Beer of Texas. Lone Star pairs choice hops with hearty grains from the Central and Northern Plains: malted barley and corn adjunct give it its full, natural flavour, while a noble hop bill lends just enough complexity and aroma to keep every mineral-crisp sip snapping into the next.

Pale golden yellow with excellent clarity and bright transparency. A thin white head forms quickly but dissipates rapidly, leaving minimal lacing. Vibrant carbonation is evident with a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the crystal-clear body.

◌ Aroma

Subtle and delicate on the nose with light grain and bread notes dominating. Minimal hop character and virtually no yeast esters or adjunct aromas. The aroma is intentionally restrained, inviting you to enjoy the beer cold rather than contemplate complexity.
