Iron Jack Crisp Australian Lager

The Legendary Brewing Co.
Australia·Mid-Strength Lager
Tap to rate

A mid-strength lager made for hot weather, built on pale lager malt with Munich and a small roasted addition. The malt reads as bread crust and a light toasted sweetness, with a faint hop aroma above it and the bitterness kept deliberately low. Cane sugar in the grist takes out body, so the beer drinks lean and dry rather than malty and finishes clean and short. Pale gold in the glass, with brisk carbonation.

◐ Taste

The palate enters lean and dry, with bread crust notes carrying through cleanly. A light roasted sweetness appears in the mid-palate, balanced against deliberately low bitterness. The cane sugar in the grist strips body deliberately, leaving the beer drinking light and quenching rather than malty or filling.
