🌍 Australia · Australian Lager · One of 40 Australian Lagers in hopIQ

Roadie Draught started as a keg beer poured in pubs and venues around Australia before Moon Dog also bottled it. It is a straightforward Australian draught lager at 4.0 percent. It pours clear and pale straw, with a subtle aroma of fresh grain and a light floral note from Australian hops. A smooth, light malt body is balanced by a clean, crisp bitterness, and the finish is dry and refreshing.
