🌍 United Kingdom · Blonde Lager · One of 2 Blonde Lagers in hopIQ

A blonde lager with an unusual trans-Atlantic hop bill — English Challenger for structure, Czech Saaz for noble florality, American Centennial for the citrus top-note. Pale gold, spicy nose, fresh-floral balance, a bone-clean finish. Surprisingly hop-characterful for a lager.
