🌍 Chile · Amber Lager · One of 56 Amber Lagers in hopIQ

Patagonia Red Lager combines Pilsner and caramel malts with Apollo, Eureka and Cascade hops. It shines copper in the glass under an ivory head. Caramel and sponge cake lead the aroma, followed by a toffee-like sweetness, nutty notes and a floral lift from the hops. The bitterness is subtle yet firm and stays in balance with the malt, while the finish turns dry. The flavours open up in layers as the glass warms slightly. It launched the brand in 2020 alongside the Hoppy Lager.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Patagonia Red Lager

◎ Appearance

Patagonia Red Lager presents a bright copper hue that catches the light with clarity and depth. A dense ivory head crowns the glass and clings to the sides with persistent lacing, revealing good carbonation and stability. The color builds on Pilsner base malt with enough caramel malt to create this warm, polished amber-copper tone.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with caramel and sponge cake sweetness, immediately inviting and approachable. Toffee notes emerge alongside subtle nutty undertones, while the blend of Apollo, Eureka and Cascade hops adds a floral lift that prevents the beer from becoming cloying. As the glass warms, these layers separate further, revealing depth beyond the initial caramel impression.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft with malt sweetness and develops a balanced toffee character through the mid-palate. Bitterness is subtle yet firm—the 16 IBU registers as a clean, grounding counterpoint rather than a sharp edge. Caramel and nut flavors remain present, while the hops provide definition without dominating, keeping the beer refreshing despite its sweet malt foundation.

◑ Finish

The finish turns dry and clean, shedding the sweetness of the mid-palate and leaving a crisp, slightly spicy hop impression. The aftertaste lingers with subtle nutty and floral echoes, inviting another sip without fatigue.
