Loral Lager
Sold as a lager but fermented with an ale yeast, this is a crisp, hoppy golden beer, lightly dry hopped with the variety that gives it its name. Zesty citrus and tropical stone fruit dominate, with a sweet, perfumed candy note that sits well against gentle bready malt. Further hop additions in the boil widen the picture to earthy, herbal, floral and pine tones. Pilsner malt and a share of wheat keep the body light. A distinctly snappy bitterness makes for a crisp, well-defined finish.
