🌍 Australia · Mid-Strength Lager · One of 4 Mid-Strength Lagers in hopIQ

Coldie is the mid-strength of the range, brewed with Australian ingredients and hopped with Enigma and Cascade. Those two give a light citrus and berry lift over a pale malt base that stays clean and cracker-dry. There is little bitterness and no complexity on offer here; the beer is built for the backyard and the barbecue at 3.5 percent.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Coldie

Appearance

Coldie presents a pale golden hue with exceptional clarity and bright translucence. The head forms with moderate density and settles to a thin, persistent ring that clings steadily to the glass. Carbonation is lively and fine, rising in delicate streams throughout the body.

Aroma

The nose opens with restrained citrus notes from Cascade, accompanied by subtle berry undertones from Enigma. A clean, pale malt base provides gentle cereal support without imposing heaviness. No hop aggression or oxidative notes intrude; the overall character remains delicate and inviting.

Taste

The palate enters dry and crisp, with light citrus flavours melding into a berry-tinged mid-section that remains soft and approachable. The pale malt backbone stays transparent, allowing hop character to speak without overwhelming. Bitterness is kept to a minimum, and the finish dries cleanly without astringency.

Finish

The finish is short and clean, fading gracefully into a dry, mineral-like aftertaste. No lingering harshness or excessive complexity; the beer exits the palate as it arrived—refreshing and undemanding.
