🌍 Italy · Pale Lager · One of 62 Pale Lagers in hopIQ

A regional edition of the premium lager dedicated to Sardinia, brewed since 2019 with malt made entirely from Sardinian barley grown by local farmers on the Campidano plain, while a share of Nostrano maize stays in the recipe. It is a clear, straw-yellow, bottom-fermented lager. The nose is balanced and delicate, with soft cereal and light bread; the palate is dry and refreshing, with a hint of flowers and a fine hop bitterness that rises toward the finish.
