Major Figures

Tap to rate

Major Figures is the lager in the year-round range, brewed with 100 % barley malt, hopped with Admiral and Hallertau Tradition and sold in 440 ml cans. It is light and crisp in a classic mould, with sweet malt and a mild bitterness defining the taste. At 4 % it stays on the gentle side, and it serves as the base for the lime lager Splash. The name refers to fathers as major figures in a child's life: boys whose father has been to prison are more likely to be convicted themselves.

◌ Aroma

The nose is restrained and inviting, leading with soft, grainy malt sweetness complemented by subtle herbal and floral notes from the Admiral and Hallertau Tradition hops.

The overall impression is one of classical simplicity and balance.

◐ Taste

On the palate, Major Figures delivers light, approachable malt character with a gentle sweetness that forms the core of the flavor profile. The bitterness arrives as a mild, clean counterpoint—never sharp or lingering—allowing the delicate malt and soft hop spice to remain in the foreground. The beer's 4% ABV ensures a featherweight body that emphasizes crispness and drinkability without demanding complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is short and dry, with the malt sweetness fading quickly into a subtle, herbaceous hop impression that refreshes rather than persists. There is no astringency or harshness; instead, a clean, mineral-like aftertaste invites the next sip.
