Rocky Ridge Draught

Tap to rate

Rocky Ridge Draught is the brewery's everyday lager, made for the moments when you just want a beer. It pours bright, clear golden yellow under an eggshell-white head. Aromas of cracker malt, biscuit and a herbaceous hop note lead into a crisp palate of white bread and biscuit, finished by a snappy, refreshing bitterness. Clean, light and highly crushable at 4.5% ABV, it is the easy-going anchor of the core range.
