◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes from Citra and Cascade hops, layered with subtle stone fruit and herbal undertones from Azacca. A gentle biscuit maltiness provides backbone without obscuring the hop character, while clean lager fermentation leaves no estery distractions. The overall impression is fresh and zesty, balancing floral and fruity hop aromatics.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and sharp, with pronounced hop bitterness from Magnum providing a firm foundation. Mid-palate develops a pleasant fruitiness and dry maltiness, with the pale malt substrate offering bready notes without sweetness. The IPA-forward character emerges as discrete but well-integrated, delivering zesty bitterness that remains restrained and sessionable at 4.1% ABV.

What is a Lager?
