Mashsee Trainingslager

Tap to rate

Mashsee's Trainingslager is Hannover's answer to proving craft lager doesn't have to be German tradition-bound — unfiltered, cold-hopped, and bright with citrus and grapefruit notes. The caramel malt backbone keeps it round and approachable, not sharp or austere. A lager that tastes crafted without losing the clean, easy-drinking soul of the style.
