Natural Lager

Tap to rate

An unfiltered German-style lager brewed with pilsner, Munich, pale and wheat malt and hopped lightly with Ella and Topaz. Without filtration or preservatives it pours hazy gold and leads with a yeast-driven aroma carrying a faint banana note over clean grain. The body stays crisp, the bitterness sits low at 20 IBU, and the finish is dry. One of the beers Young Henrys has brewed since its early years.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Natural Lager

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden pour reflecting the beer's unfiltered nature, with a soft, pale straw hue that catches the light. The head forms dense and white, settling into a persistent collar that clings lightly to the glass. Fine carbonation creates a gentle visual texture throughout the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, yeast-driven notes carrying a faint but distinct banana character over clean pilsner grain. Subtle wheat malt adds a bready undertone without dominance. The Ella and Topaz hops remain restrained, providing a whisper of herbal cleanness rather than aromatic intensity.

◐ Taste

The palate enters crisp and light, with malt-forward flavors of bread and soft wheat balancing low bitterness at 20 IBU. The mid-palate stays clean and dry, allowing the yeast character to express itself without sweetness or body. Bitterness remains gentle and integrated, never aggressive.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with a brief aftertaste of grain and light bread notes. The absence of filtration and preservatives allows the natural fermentation character to linger subtly without harshness.
