Five Grain Lager
A citrus aroma with grapefruit comes from French Strisselspalt hops, then malt and rye bread follow in a crisp palate. Barley, rye, wheat, maize and rice all go into the mash of this pale gold lager, which also uses English Challenger. Five Grain Lager (5.0%, 20 IBU) is a draught beer that reads as complex yet refreshing.
