Matilda Bay Hazy Lager

◎ Appearance

Pours pale straw with a notably hazy appearance characteristic of its unfiltered process. The cloudiness from suspended yeast and proteins creates a soft, diffused appearance rather than brilliance. Carbonation appears moderate, with a delicate white head that offers modest lacing.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright stone fruit esters—apricot and peach—that sit atop a base of spicy and herbal hop character. Beneath the fruity impression, subtle toasted malt notes provide a warm, grainy undertone without dominating the profile. The aromatic balance reflects a gentle brewing process that preserves delicate hop volatiles.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and refreshing, with the peach and apricot notes from the nose carrying through to the palate. Mid-palate shows a fuller body than typical filtered pale lagers, with a subtle toasted malt sweetness and low bitterness that never overwhelms. The profile remains dry and crisp through to the finish, with herbal spice notes lingering lightly.

◑ Finish

The finish is quick and refreshing, with bitterness remaining restrained at 10 IBU. A faint herbal dryness and stone fruit memory fade cleanly, leaving no residual sweetness or astringency.

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C. Carbonation and crispness are the main event — cold preserves both.

The sturdy German stein maintains temperature and keeps carbonation intact. Built for long, convivial drinking.
