Hell
Hell is German for light, and Surly's version is a pale gold lager at 5.0% ABV with bready malt sweetness, floral hops and a crisp, balanced finish. Sterling is the hop, Pilsner and Carahell the malts, brewed with a German lager yeast at 12 degrees Plato. Low in bitterness and sold in four-packs and twelve-packs of 16oz cans.

What is a Lager?
Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
