Iron Jack Full Strength Lager

The Legendary Brewing Co.
Australia·Australian Lager
Tap to rate

A pale lager on a plain pale malt base, with a light dose of Saaz hops that come through as a herbal, faintly floral note rather than as bitterness. The malt stays in the background as grain and a thin biscuit sweetness, and a crisp green-apple edge runs through the middle. Clear gold under a white head that falls away quickly, with a light body and a dry, short finish that leaves almost nothing behind.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with light, clean malt sweetness and a thin biscuit note. Mid-palate brings noble-hop herbal character and a citrusy snap without pronounced bitterness. A dry, green-apple sharpness runs through the middle, preventing any flabbiness.
