Point Special
Point Special has been the brewery's flagship since 1857, a classic American-style lager with a soft malt base and a modest hop presence. It pours clear yellow-gold under a dense white head. The nose carries light hay, grain and a touch of sweet corn, with faint grassy and floral hop notes behind. On the palate mild malt sweetness moves into cereal and corn and a hint of fruit, before a crisp, dry finish with barely noticeable bitterness.
