Citrus Lager

Tap to rate

A light lager cold-aged and finished with real citrus juice. Pale and very clear, with lemon and orange juice in the nose over a faint grainy malt base. The palate is crisp and thin, the citrus fresh and lightly tart rather than sweet, and the malt stays almost silent behind it. Carbonation runs high and the finish is short and clean, with a trace of pith bitterness.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and light, with fresh citrus flavors that lean toward tartness rather than sweetness. The malt remains nearly silent, allowing the orange and lemon to occupy the palate cleanly. A trace of white pith bitterness emerges mid-palate and carries into the finish.
