Mashsee Mashine

Germany·India Pale Lager
Tap to rate

Mashsee's Mashine proves the India Pale Lager category isn't a gimmick — it's a clean lager body (5.8%, crisp finish) married to fruity, citrus-forward hop character that usually lives in IPAs. The result is bright and tropical without sacrificing the refreshment lager drinkers expect. A gateway beer for people who think they don't like hoppy beers.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and refreshing with immediate hop-driven citrus character that develops into a medium-bodied palate with fruity and grainy notes. The mid-palate maintains a pleasant bitterness (50 IBU) that remains balanced and sophisticated, without aggression, leading to a dry finish.

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