Splash

Tap to rate

Splash is a lime lager first released in 2026 and sold in 440 ml cans. It starts from the year-round lager Major Figures, to which the brewery adds a generous amount of lemon and lime zest; the hops, Admiral and Hallertau Tradition, and the strength of 4 % are those of the base beer. The result is light-bodied, with a zesty citrus tang layered over sweet malt and a mild bitterness.

AI-generated sensory profile for Splash

◎ Appearance

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant citrus notes—lemon and lime zest dominate the immediate impression, layered over the soft, grain-forward character of the base lager. Admiral and Hallertau Tradition hops contribute subtle herbal undertones rather than assertive hop character, allowing the citrus adjuncts to remain the aromatic centerpiece. The overall profile is clean and zesty, with no yeast-derived esters or phenolics.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light-bodied, with the citrus notes from lemon and lime zest providing immediate brightness and tang. The mid-palate reveals a gentle sweetness from the Malz foundation, creating balance against the citric acidity and the restrained bitterness of 12 IBUs. The finish remains clean and dry, with neither the malt nor the citrus dominating—instead, they resolve together into a refreshing, uncomplicated conclusion.
