Stayer

Australia·Mid-Strength Lager
Tap to rate

A mid-strength Australian lager built to drink like a full-strength beer, aimed at long afternoons at 3.5 per cent. The hop aroma leans on soft stone fruit and lychee over a bright golden body, and a light bitterness carries the dry finish. It took gold in the reduced and low alcohol category at the Australian International Beer Awards in 2019.
