Cloudless

Tap to rate

A pale lager in the American mould, brewed to put malt ahead of hops. It pours a bright straw yellow and brilliantly clear. The aroma is quiet: soft malt with a faint hint of dark fruit. On the palate it is light and crisp, with a little grain sweetness and a delicate biscuit note at the end. Hop character is kept in the background, and the finish is clean and smooth.
