Classic Crisp

Australia·Mid-Strength Lager
Tap to rate

A mid-strength lager from the two-beer Classic range, brewed with Munich and pale malt and the hop products Flex and Hexahop. It pours light gold and drinks clean, with a gentle grain sweetness, a faint hop spice and a crisp, dry close. The carbohydrate content is cut back through a long fermentation, and at 7 IBU the bitterness barely registers. The lightest beer in the Young Henrys line-up.

The nose is restrained and clean, leading with a subtle grain sweetness derived from Munich and pale malt.

No yeast esters or adjunct character intrude; the aroma remains composed and approachable.

Entry is light and refreshing, with a delicate malt foundation that never becomes cloying.

At 7 IBU, bitterness is barely perceptible, allowing the malt character to shine without assertive finish.
