100th Meridian Amber Lager

Tap to rate

An amber lager in the North American craft tradition, built on prairie malts from the Canadian Great Plains and hopped with Bravo and Cascade. The name points to the meridian west of which the barley, hops and yeast are grown. It shows light copper under a white head, with a floral hop aroma over gentle malt sweetness and almost no ester character. Light to medium bodied and clean through the finish.
