Stewart's Lager

Tap to rate

Pale straw under a dense white head, brewed with lager malt and bottom-fermenting yeast. Noble Saaz hops give it an earthy, citrusy character, and the beer finishes crisp and dry. 4.0 % ABV, 25 IBU. Lager yeast ferments cooler, typically between 7 and 13 °C, which gives a cleaner, crisper flavour than an ale.
