◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a clean, soft malt character derived from the blend of two-row and six-row barley.

The overall aromatic profile is straightforward and inviting, with no yeast esters or off-odors.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light on the palate, with a bready, grain-forward malt presence that anchors the beer. Mid-palate develops a smooth, refreshing character with balanced but minimal hop bitterness at 12 IBU. The finish is dry and clean, allowing the light malt sweetness to recede gracefully without lingering thickness.

What is a Pale Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.

Finding a similar Pale Lager
