We teamed up with our talented friends at Caius Farm Brewery in Branford, CT to blend our love of German lagers in this Dortmunder Export Lager with an American hop twist. Brewed with a single decoction mash using Bohemian Floor Malted Pilsner, Carapils, and Munich malts, it’s hopped with Adeena from Crosby Hop Farms which offers herbal, floral, earthy Noble-like character with touches of citrus and pine. The result is a naturally clarified medium golden lager that balances bready malt sweetness with crisp hop bitterness and floral spice. Think a maltier Helles meets the bitterness of a German Pilsner.

Brewery draught, 10/24/25.
As pictured.
Light and fruity with some crisp yeast. Herbs, lemongrass and a touch of mild citrus. Mildly bready malts without much richness but a good aromatic strength of rustic grain. Clean.
Much, much maltier than the nose lets on. Rich, deep buttercream and toffee with light, peppery bitterness and lingering gooey bread and honey. Dries out nicely on the finish but remains nice and malty. Interesting take and very drinkable and flavorful. Hops give a nice old world impression with elements of new, without going overboard on the new.
