Rebel Lager

Tap to rate

A pale lager in the Bavarian manner at 4.1%, brewed to a recipe the founder kept from his earlier years as a brewer and left unchanged since the brewery's launch. Floral notes sit on the nose; the palate is light and crisp and ends clean. Magnum, Tettnanger, Perle and Saaz make up the hop bill, classic German and Czech varieties that give the floral, lightly herbal character.
